A tough finale with most coming into the race in decent form. Rastaban and Watered Silk are both chasing hat-tricks, while Getabuzz has won two of his last three starts. Cops And Robbers and Gulf Of Naples are both unexposed and open to further improvement and Four Nations was sent off favourite over a longer trip at Doncaster last month and only found Manifestation too strong. Slight Advantage won going away at Salisbury last time and is still heading in the right direction but the vote goes to SUHAILI. Roger Varian's colt hasn't been seen since scoring over 1m4f here at the end of May but has probably been kept back for an autumn campaign and his style of running suggests he'll thrive in his first try over this longer trip.
