The Tin Man wasn't unfancied against the likes of Muhaarar and Twilight Son in a Group 1 on Champions Day at Ascot in October and finished a respectable fourth, ahead of Naadirr and Strath Burn. But his absence since is a concern and it's a long time since trainer James Fanshawe had a winner here. The Godolphin colours are regular seen in the winner's enclosure on this track, however, and BACCARAT looked ready to strike again when chasing home Don't Touch at Haydock, though only finished half-a-length ahead of the returning Watchable. Dutch Masterpiece is the only course winner in the line-up but has it all to do under a penalty while the three-year-old King Of Rooks is likely to struggle against more battle-hardened rivals. Humidor is better over 5f.
