Pipedreamer has gone up 9lbs for his win over this trip at Goodwood last month but John Gosden's colt was good value for that success and is taken to follow up here at the main expense of Greek Well and Monte Alto. The last mentioned has been running consistently well of late and is entitled to be thereabouts again but Luca Cumani's colt may be a shade high in the weights at present so may be best watched. Mr Aviator has a nice pull at the weights with the selection on Goodwood running but Gosden's horse was value for further than the winning margin that day suggests so he may have to settle for minor honours again. Godolphin's Seabow has more to do than when winning at Sandown last time, while Lundy's Lane has a poor strike-rate. Peruvian Prince is closely matched with Greek Well on running at York last month and there should not be much to choose between the two today but Pipedreamer created a favourable impression when scoring at Goodwood and is taken to follow up.
