Verdict

TAROOQ, a close-up fifth in the Lincoln Trial on last year's card, has joined Stuart Williams since and taken well to the drop back in trip. The winner of his last couple of starts over 6f, he's bidding for his fifth straight victory and looks to have every chance. Intransigent did nothing but improve last year and won twice at Kempton. He'll be a real threat if at his peak for his return to action and the same comment applies to last summer's Ascot winner Barnet Fair. Profile Star doesn't have that much to find to reverse recent form with the selection but Seek The Fair Land has a bit to find with both and recent winner Al's Memory will find this tougher despite Richard Hughes picking up the ride. Harrison George is well handicapped on his best form but his losing run stretches back to 2010.
