Green Park looks the one to beat here, with Dream Factor, Casablanca Minx and Bloodstocktv rated as his main dangers. Having displayed plenty of pace and promise in scoring twice earlier in the season, Green Park will find this level much more to his liking after having contested Group 2 and Group 3 company on his last two starts, and he wasn't beaten that far in the July Stakes last time. For us, that type of profile makes him the one to beat. Dream Factor will appreciate the drop in grade from what he has been trying, while the speedy Casablanca Minx can show up well from a good draw but Piccostar is weighted to beat him based on their all-weather meeting last time. Bloodstocktv scored well at Leicester last time and, even though that was in a seller, he is respected. Much as he has shown promise, Soft Gold possibly has a little to prove, a similar comment applying to Wovoka. This returns us to Green Park, who might be able to defy top weight.
