Lancelot Du Lac may not be the force of old but can still figure off his current mark. But ALAADEL (NAP) has the more recent form with a better effort at Goodwood last month and should be in the mix having only his second start on the all-weather. Concierge has been in good form over the minimum trip and finished in front of both Mount Mogan and Mubaalegh when placed at Ascot last time while Typhoon Ten had the measure of Total Commitment at Windsor but the latter is preferred back on this surface. Persuasion has struggled so far this year and drops down to 6f for the first time.
