Danehill Kodiac is penalised for winning the Cumberland Lodge at Ascot earlier this month and Frontiersman is preferred on these terms having won a Listed race at Newmarket last time. Best Solution also represents Godolphin having come up short in a couple of soft Group 1 races in Germany and he finished behind Raheen House at Ascot before that. The latter has since won a Listed prize at Ascot while Mountain Bell beat Western Hymn when second in last year’s renewal but is having her first start since. ARCHITECTURE disappointed over 1m2f at Newmarket last time but had finished ahead of What About Carlo and Across The Stars in the Arc Trial here earlier so she gets a tentative vote back over 1m4f today.
