Wilderness has found some form again back on the Flat here this summer and is weighted to confirm course and distance running in July with Songo but King's Castle and La Pulga have stamina to prove. AL AZHAR is also upped trip but stayed on strongly to beat a subsequent winner over 1m4f at Newbury in July and has found fast ground against him in recent outings. None of the others can be ruled out in a tricky finale.
