    Verdict

    Qushchi looks up against it on today's terms but there's not much between the remaining quartet on official ratings. Lost In The Moment has a recent run under his belt and his best effort last year was a head defeat in the Goodwood Cup while Glen's Diamond was beaten only a length in last month's Yorkshire Cup over 1m6f. It would be no surprise to see last season's St Leger runner-up Brown Panther in Cup races eventually but he ran flat in the Ormonde Stakes at Chester on his return and JET AWAY may have too much speed for him in this. The latter carries a penalty for a convincing win in a Listed event at Goodwood last month but Sir Henry Cecil's charge can continue his progress over this longer trip.
