It's difficult to be wholly confident about any of these but the three-year-old TREASURY DEVIL didn't fare too badly when third in a Listed race at Newmarket in April. That was only his sixth career start and, providing he's fully wound-up after a break, John Gosden's charge may be good enough to land this. Last year's Breeders' Cup Turf winner Dangerous Midge is the class act but is being geared for another trip to the States and has shown nothing in two runs so far this season while this is Le Drakkar's first run in Europe, though he was placed in a Group 2 in Dubai earlier in the year and Frankie prefers him to stablemate Enak. Monitor Closely and Rasmy have become disappointing but Jet Away should run his race again despite conceding weight all round.
