TABDEED (NAP) ran well at Newcastle last year before landing this and is following a similar path. He returned to action in a Group 3 last month and is taken to reverse running with third-placed Diligent Harry. The latter is a progressive sprinter but has yet to race on Turf while King's Lynn returns to Pattern company with a shout having been beaten less than a length in the Wokingham at Ascot. Royal Crusade landed a Group 3 on a trip over to France last year and will be sharper for last month’s outing while Royal Commando won the Cammidge at Doncaster back in March and is preferred to the three-year-olds Method and Happy Romance on that form.
