Godolphin dominate this numerically with four entries. Viren's Army, a winner at Chester last May, started favourite on his reappearance over 1m4f a couple of weeks ago but never got going. He's much better than that though finished a long way behind stable companion Kidmenever, who looked in need of that sort of trip when staying on nicely. Classic Collection beat the in-form Baroot on his return to action last month but ran poorly when stepped up in class on his next start. Huge Future may be the owners' best chance of victory as he probably needed the run on his comeback in a tough handicap last month but ran well for a long way and will be sharper this time. ELLEVAL (NAP) has been a regular visitor here since 2013 and has had 20 starts on the track, winning twice and being placed on numerous occasions. His recent second to Folkswood over 1m1f ,where he was staying on strongly at the finish, suggests he's ready to regain the winning thread. Elite Excalibur has a touch of class and though unable to cope with Group 3 class last time his early close second in a very strong handicap puts him in the picture.
