Quizzene has won his last two starts, latterly despite racing wide throughout at Chester, and is taken to complete a hat-trick at the main expense of National Trust and Blaise Hollow. The last mentioned has gone up 7lbs for winning at Newmarket over 1m2f last time and is not certain to appreciate today's longer trip, while Jeremy Noseda's Kharish has been done few favours with the draw. John Gosden has a line to the selection through Come On Jonny for his runner Wild Savannah, who is less exposed than most of these and cannot be discounted from a reasonable draw, while Godolphin's Sunday Symphony may need this first time out. Roger Charlton's Sea Wall faces no easy task on his debut in a handicap but is going the right way and has a decent draw along with the likes of Consular and Munsef. None are better drawn than Sir Michael Stoute's National Trust, who is a well bred individual and progressing along the right lines as one would expect, but Quizzene looked like a horse to follow when scoring at Chester and is taken to defy his 9lb rise in the weights from stall three.
