Just Hiss beat Hesslewood a neck with Hortzadar back in third when scoring over course and distance last time. The runner-up is fitted with headgear today while Danyah was raised 10lb for an earlier success at Doncaster and was well beaten when third at Newbury. Tukhoom finished in front of Rousayan at Sandown and Al Mukhtar Star has switched yards since winning a maiden in Dubai early in the year. Dalgarno drops down in trip while CROWNTHORPE was nowhere near his best on his belated comeback but last year’s victory in soft ground at York is among the strongest form on offer and Richard Fahey’s charge is fancied to go close if back to his best.
