In depth

Verdict

Running Cloud will need to improve again to get involved in a race like this and Khazix is even harder to recommend but CUBAN HEEL could give recent winners George Villiers and Mushtaq, who look closely matched, plenty to think about in receipt of 7lb and 9lb respectively. Clive Cox’ grey was behind George Villiers at Sandown last time but got no sort of run. He is 5lb better off with that one and only a pound higher than when going close at Epsom on his reappearance.
