COTAI GLORY won this last year and will be very much at home back in this grade after racing in all the top sprints. He can take advantage of the 5lb he receives from Caspian Prince, who has been in superb form having beaten Marsha in a Curragh Group 2 in July and will appreciate the ground. Judicial has been in tremendous form but was behind Take Cover in a Listed contest at York in July and the winner continued his revival in the Listed Beverley Bullet. Waady won at Leicester on ground with some give but had been put in his place by Priceless in the Group 2 Temple Stakes at Haydock in May when Goldream finished runner-up. Muthmir is another who can get involved in what should be a scorching sprint.
