In depth

Verdict

Bittel Road brings an unbeaten record to the table here and is feared while Westphalia's Champagne Stakes win at Doncaster represented a welcome return to form for him. However the ground is forecast to be very quick on Saturday night and that is a worry. Donativum has clearly benefited from a gelding operation but the pick is GRAND ADVENTURE. He showed a great attitude to fend off Skipadate by a head last time at Woodbine despite his rider losing his whip. There won't be much between the pair again but the selection's sheer will-to-win could count for plenty down the stretch.
