Brown Panther won this comfortably a year ago from Ahzeemah with Cavalryman back in sixth. Tom Dascombe's charge has continued to perform with great credit and it was only the very testing conditions that beat him at Longchamp last time. Cavalryman had the pace to land a Group 2 over 1m4f at Newmarket last time but it will be a surprise if any of them can cope with ESTIMATE. The Queen's mare is likely to lose her second spot in this year's Gold Cup on a technicality after just failing to add to last year's victory in the same event but she had Brown Panther behind at Ascot and the shorter trip shouldn't be a concern. Angel Gabrial steps into Group company for the first time after his second place in the Chester Cup and victory in the Northumberland Plate and certainly deserves a crack at this grade while the Grade 2 winning hurdler Forgotten Voice tackles his correct trip after a couple of very good efforts over shorter.
