WATHEEQ is the only one of these to have previously scored over the trip, beating subsequent Royal Ascot winner Fennell Bay at Haydock on his reappearance in May. Though a little disappointing when failing to land the odds at Folkestone next time, he did nothing wrong at Doncaster last month and can reverse that form with Instrumentalist and return to winning ways here. Westwiththenight didn't appear to get home over 1m2f in June while Corsetry is proving disappointing. The Johnston pair Parley and Always Eager have a bit to prove at present but Halling Dancer should run his race again and may be a danger.
