Three-year-olds have a decent record in this, though older horses have won the last two renewals. Carry On Sydney has disappointed in his last two starts but HUNTING RIGHTS won on soft ground at Brighton last month and was far from disgraced when upped in grade at Newbury last time. He gets 5lb from Sadiq and that may be enough to swing things his way, though the Godolphin gelding may not have been suited by Chester last time. Mark Johnston also runs Wolverhampton second Fennell Bay, while Epsom scorer Weapon Of Choice, Open Water and the consistent Las Verglas Star should make their presence felt again. Tahaamah and Amaze look best of the rest at the weights.
