    Verdict

    DUKE OF HAZZARD has a leading chance at the weights and finished closer when fourth in last week’s Diomed Stakes at Epsom. He should make a bold bid in this and can reverse earlier running at Ascot with Qaysar. The latter is penalised having won a Listed contest at Haydock last month while Space Traveller has plenty to prove now after a poor reappearance at Doncaster and headgear is applied. Azano and the returning Afaak have no easy task on these terms as both step up from handicaps.
