Discoverer returns from a break and this will be his first run on Turf. We much prefer DARE TO DREAM, who hasn't been seen since making a promising reappearance at Newbury in May but clearly goes well fresh and was thought good enough to tackle Listed company at the back-end of last season. She's preferred to stablemate and Windsor winner Juvenal. Kaafel just failed to follow up his Haydock victory at Beverley and should be thereabouts again but Sir Mike has been frustrating to follow and Devdas was a beaten favourite off this mark at Newmarket having finished second at Haydock on his previous outing. Verse Of Love won at Chepstow last month but this is a better race.
