All bar Distant King and Caught Out can be considered but the vote goes to Seel Of Approval. Roger Charlton is enjoying a smashing season and the selection, who was unlucky in running when fourth at Ascot last time, can make amends here. Celtic Mill reflects great credit on his trainer, having won four of his last seven starts, including Hamilton's valuable Stewards Cup. A rise in the weights saw him beaten last time but he is entitled to be competitive in this company. Circuit Dancer comes here in good heart and has won recently over course and distance, so can't be ruled out. A similar comment applies to Terry Mills' lightly raced High Reach and Mick Channon's Polar Force, but we'll stick with Seel Of Approval.
