Lightning Charlie improved to finish second at Goodwood last time but over 5f in soft ground and it remains to be seen if he can reproduce that here. Scalzo ran well on his debut when runner-up at Wolverhampton but the form of BRITISH ART looks stronger. He finished ahead of subsequent winners at Newmarket in June and gets the vote. Wedlock, Hurricane Alert and Marasim are all worthy of a second glance but Aqdaar is a half-brother to Group 2 winning sprinter Akmal and may prove best of the newcomers.
