Hipz had Encapsulated behind when winning over this trip at Brighton earlier this month but was beaten over 7f on a return visit to that track, though still finished ahead of the disappointing Birdie Queen. Bush Warrior dotted up on Polytrack recently and had been in decent form on Turf earlier while there are possibilities about Goodwood third Gung Ho Jack, who holds Reginald Claude on collateral form. PRINCE REGAL was well behind Gung Ho Jack at Kempton in April but had excuses that day. He's gone well here in the past and arrives off the back of a respectable second at Nottingham so gets the nod.
