Kaanoon lost nothing in defeat when trying to give 10lb to Hasanoanda here two weeks ago and will be fancied to recapture the winning thread. Dual course and distance winner Danceteria is flying and David Menuisier puts up useful 5lb claimer Jason Watson to offset a further 5lb rise. Caliburn won easily at Haydock before tackling Group 3 company here last time but may not be suited by the drop in distance. Epsom winner Derek Duval may be best of the older horses but Frankie has picked up a nice ride on ALTERNATIVE FACT, who ran much better than the final result suggests at Sandown last time - that form is working out really well.
