Balmoral Castle won at Goodwood earlier and drops down a grade after a modest effort back at the Sussex track. Craftsmanship has a shout on his earlier third at Nottingham but KASTINI makes most appeal having run well again in heavy ground at Epsom last time. Denis Coakley's charge had previously won over track and trip with Tunnel Creek well beaten and is also preferred to Bnedel, who remains 5lb higher than his win at Haydock in June. Alnashama has failed to threaten since scoring at Bath in July, despite placing on a couple of occasions.
