WATCH AMIGO scored carrying top weight over a mile at Leicester in June, the only previous time this season he's raced in this low a grade. His earlier victories all came over today's trip and Walter Swinburn's charge can return to winning ways. Rondeau is on a career-high mark after going close at Kempton last time, but Dominium has every chance only 3lb higher than his earlier win at Newmarket. Yair Hill is looking for his first handicap win and this is tougher than the race Kakapuka won over C&D in June. Oil Strike will appreciate the return to this longer trip, but Bajan Bear looks handicapped out of it now having landed a double in the summer.
