A couple of similar types should fight this one out. Ask The Guru won his debut at Salisbury and has gone close in better company on his last two starts. He should make another bold bid although collateral form gives him something to find with HAIRY ROCKET. The latter disappointed when favourite at Chantilly last time but had finished a creditable third in the Queen Mary at Royal Ascot before that and she's taken to return to form here. Pixilated finished a place ahead of Bheleyf when fourth at Brighton but Polytrack winner Coconut Kisses may improve past both of them here.
