Qaader finished well ahead of both Lauded and Choritzo when runner-up in the Coventry at Ascot last time and has strong claims. Tactical also scored at Ascot when landing the Windsor Castle over 5f, with Yazaman and Victory Heights behind, and should stay this extra distance but so will SWISS ACE. Representing last year’s winning trainer, the Ballydoyle colt is related to a host of smart sprinters and made a winning debut over the minimum trip at Tipperary last month. Jimmy Sparks and Rebel At Dawn are novice winners while Escape Route made a winning start in maiden company at Pontefract and is another stepping up in distance.
