BLESS HIM won this hugely competitive handicap a year ago and is just 1lb higher despite running well in all four subsequent starts. He's handed the vote though it's difficult to fine one without a chance and he finished behind third-placed Awaal in the Royal Hunt Cup last time so the Crisford's charge has to be a major threat. Star Of Orion ran two cracking races on the Rowley course in May and has been left on the same mark. He was receiving 6lb from Montassib and beaten just over a length so should get closer on the revised terms. Streets Of Gold had a brilliant juvenile campaign and has been placed at Listed and Group 3 level the last twice though this hasn't been a good race for three-year-olds. Popmaster was engaged in the 5.10 at Ascot yesterday.
