Sun Cuisine represents last year’s winning yard and finished closer over a mile at Chelmsford back in August. Waleydd was beaten only a head at Newbury on his debut when finishing in front of a subsequent winner trained by John Gosden. The latter runs GALSWORTHY in this having finished runner-up over 7f at Newmarket on last month’s debut and he gets the vote to improve for this extra distance and open his account. English King is another likely to finish closer but Spanish Persuader and stablemate You Owe Me need to take a step forward to figure.
