Royal Swain is back in the right grade after his fifth at Haydock and only a pound higher than when successful over C&D last month. He has to go on the short-list along with Jonny Delta and Getabuzz, both beaten favourites last time. John Gosden, trainer of PURIFICATION, should know where he stands with the latter, however, on a line through recent course winner Camborne and the top weight gets the vote. He finished ahead of Royal Swain at Haydock and, though far from straightforward, may have too much class for these now upped in trip. Luggers Hall has only found one too good at Chester and Goodwood since winning at Kempton in April and should also be thereabouts.
