Verdict

Danadana won a handicap at this meeting last year and landed the Group 3 Huxley Stakes at Chester in May when beating Gabrial. But he seems to have lost his way since then and it's hard to know what to expect dropping back in trip for this. City Style will have come on for a recent comeback run at Haydock and could prove the one to beat if able to reproduce his form in Dubai earlier in the year while Pavlosk won over a mile here back in May and has plenty of scope. ARCHBISHOP goes well fresh and will need to if he's to get involved on his first start since September. However, the form of his dead-heat with Trumpet Major at Goodwood last term looks pretty strong in this context and there may be more to come over today's extra distance. Robin Hoods Bay and Red Avenger are both smart handicappers but this could prove beyond them.
