Verdict

JULIENAS was a ready winner at Kempton last time and can take what looks a very competitive heat. Walter Swinburn's charge hung badly left at the Sunbury venue so going this way round is in his favour and he's lightly-raced and capable of further progress at this trip. Lost In The Moment is in very good hands and made the anticipated improvement when second in the consolation race for the Cambridgeshire last time. He's a threat, along with John Gosden's recent Nottingham winner Oriental Cat. Cumulus Nimbus got no sort of run behind Forte De Marmi here last time and is capable of much better but Spanish Duke found disappointingly little under pressure at Ascot last time and has it to prove now.
