This looks wide-open. Royal Dutch is up only 3lb for winning at Newmarket last time and Portmonarch has claims back over his winning trip. Mutanaweb and Ikhtisas both have a shout stepping up in distance while the more exposed pair, Takeitfromalady and Burnham, are not easily dismissed. INFINITE HOPE will have come on for her belated seasonal debut and has every chance on last year's close-up third over track and trip. Luca Cumani's filly gets the nod off her current mark.
