The forecast going could be a problem for a few of these. Camborne certainly appreciates an easy surface as does Cubanita, though the latter has already won twice over course and distance at this level. Tasaday ran well for third in the Yorkshire Oaks last time and won a Group 2 at Deauville last year but this is a further step up for Glorious Protector. Grandeur isn't out of this having been in good form in the States over the summer but HILLSTAR has to be given one more chance. He has his quirks but has been up against top-class performers on the whole this season and simply gave Amralah too much rope over a shorter trip at Haydock last time.
