YAZAMAN has the form in the book having so far found one too good in the Windsor Castle, the July Stakes and the Group 2 Richmond Stakes at Goodwood last time. The Haggas colt should make another bold bid though Lauded was only a neck behind him at Goodwood and is not out of this either. Escape Route has more to find with the selection on earlier running and the unbeaten Seven Brothers has no easy task on these terms while Mystery Smiles also remains unbeaten after landing a conditions' race at Chester. Ubettabelieveit is a Listed winner over 5f attempting today’s trip for the first time while Minzaal and Mohawk King are upped in class with the latter representing last year’s winning yard.
