7/2
Twice a winner over this trip last season and ran an eye-catching race on return to action when a very decent fourth over C&D (lost two places last 50 yards) in March. Layoff since a slight doubt but highly respected.

18/1
Former Group 3 winner not really cut the mustard in three 2019 starts and patience starting to wear thin now after very ordinary effort latest at Newmarket where he beat just one horse home.

13/8
Won three of four between November '18 and May '19 in a really progressive run of form. Asked severe test latest when midfield in International Stakes at Ascot but back at this level his claims are crystal clear.

1m course winner at two in 2107 has only raced four times since and once this season when last of six. Still Shadwell owned which is quite notable and suspect he has another win in him if he can stay fit. Intriguing contender.

C&D winner in June and placed in three of his four starts since including a very decent 3L second at Newmarket latest. Not exactly well handicapped but should still be involved.

10/1
Made all for a seventh career score and third in 2019 at Epsom 19 days ago. Upped 3lb to a mark higher than anything in the last two years but clearly thriving on her racing.

Belatedly broke his maiden tag in 7f Wolverhampton handicap penultimately but given he has was last latest and just before that win he's not exactly consistent although seems best on AW.

Forecasts

Diocles Of Rome (13/8), Lethal Lunch (7/2), Quick Breath (9/2), Assimilation (7/1), Canton Queen (8/1), Chica De La Noche (10/1), Miracle of Medinah (18/1), Tadleel (25/1)

Verdict

In a trappy little handicap the best claims just about belong to DIOCLES OF ROME whose progress can resume now back down in grade after being set a very stiff task latest. Others with obvious claims include consistent sort Quick Breath a 2019 C&D scorer and Lethal Lunch who was progressive in 2018 and ran well in his lone 2019 start.
