Winner over this trip at York in May on good to soft, only just edged out next time in the Epsom Dash. Two subsequent efforts have been less appealing, latest over 6f at Ascot, this drop back in trip to suit and has had a nice break. Leading player.

Two-time Group One-winning sprinter in 2015 when at his peak, not the same force now but has been running against high-class opposition this season and this certainly represents an easier task. Respected.

Decent sort. Won listed sprint on Lingfield AW in February 2016. Slowly away on return to the fray at Chester earlier this month and should strip fitter now. Gets 3lb back but remains tough task.

Has won 13 times in his career, latest coming over this C&D a year ago off a mark of 109. Now ten-years-old however and little case to be made on evidence this season so far.

Started off life with this trainer with excellent run over 6f here in a Group Three in April before also going well dropped to this trip in the Palace House Stakes. Faltered bit since but down in class and with Moore booked, cannot be factored out.

Just shy of top drawer in his prime, no win since Listed 6f contest at Windsor in June 2015. Two runs this term have suggested there may be more than a hint of regression now. Others more likely.

Highly-tried of late in group races, mostly proving to be out his depth. Again faces a stiff task here but at least down in grade and not totally ruled out.

Forecasts

Goldream (5/2), Duke Of Firenze (3/1), Ornate (7/2), Willytheconqueror (9/2), Yalta (6/1), Tropics (11/1), Monsieur Joe (12/1), Lightscameraction (22/1), Verdi (100/1)

Verdict

A tough race to assess with a fair few of the leading contenders dropping in class after varying degrees of disappointment. The market will be informative but DUKE OF FIRENZE went very close in the Dash at Epsom last month and coming here off a short break having since been tame over 6f at Ascot, he could again go well over the minimum trip. He may have the last word under Spencer. Goldream has been tried in tough races so far this term and should give a good account at this level while Ornate is a player with Moore back on board. Willytheconqueror should find this task to his liking and Yalta will surely be able to show more now back over the minimum trip in this grade.
  1. Duke Of Firenze
  2. Ornate
  3. Yalta
