Khubala was beaten only a head at Ascot last week with Duke Of Firenze behind and should be in the mix but HUMIDOR can deservedly get his head in front. He passed the post first in a void race at Epsom before running well in the Portland at Doncaster behind Muthmir and this is easier. Normal Equilibrium remains 8lb higher than his latest win back in May while Lexi's Hero finished just ahead of Elusivity when only fifth in a similar grade last time. Ladweb, Dominate and Pandar all went close on their latest starts but are up in class for this.
