        Verdict

        The three-year-olds The Graduate and NICEONECENTURION both appear to have decent claims in this. The former has won twice this year but the latter opened his account over track and trip last time and looks the more progressive. He's just preferred to last year's winner Cool Macavity, though he has probably be primed for a repeat after finishing a close-up third on his return to the Flat at Ascot. Zambeasy was in good form at Windsor in the spring but may need this while Touch The Sky has been beaten twice off this mark since scoring at Sandown in June. Continuum and Silver Quay look best of the rest.
