This looks wide open but Beverley scorer Point North shouldn't be dismissed, despite a 5lb higher mark, as he's the only previous course and distance winner in the line-up. Glastonberry has been very consistent this year while Fantasy Justifier had Supersta and Jammy Guest behind when fifth at Ascot last month and wasn't disgraced at Goodwood subsequently. Borough Boy was fifth over track and trip last month on his return to Turf and should go well but old-timer TAROOQ has shown no sign of slowing down. Tom Dascombe's nine-year-old followed up placed efforts at Chepstow and Newmarket with a close-up sixth at Goodwood and has been dropped a further pound since so gets the vote.
