A race that tends to be won by one of the more fancied runners in recent years sees a very open renewal. Chessman is overdue a win, is drawn well and looks poised for a big run following his fast finish behind last year's runner-up Burnt Sugar at Ascot. The latter is poorly drawn as is Medahim who may struggle to confirm the C&D form with Aljady who had no luck in behind and is the horse with the most improvement to come. Mankib is also open to significant progress while Vale Of Kent should be on the pace and looks the pick of his trainer's trio. The narrow verdict goes to ACES who is finally fulfilling his potential with back-to-back wins and remains on a very good mark for a shrewd yard.
