Five of these have won previously at the track so it's a competitive finale. Olympic Runner is one but he weakened quickly in a race at Goodwood in July in which DISCREET HERO made good late headway having met some trouble in-running. He's been dropped a pound since and can get back to winning ways. Waseem Faris has been holding his own in better company so rates a danger under the excellent Josephine Gordon. Just Us Two caught the eye at Ascot and should be approaching peak fitness while Upavon has been in excellent form, though at a lower level. Princess Tansy has also been going well while Emjayem has claims on his second at Goodwood in June and won this last year, though is 3lb higher.
