Visored and has taken his form up a notch with back-to-back wins at Brighton and Leicester (7f) this summer. This demands more back in handicap company but still not taken lightly.

Forecasts

Cervetto (10/3), Beautiful Crown (4/1), Dakota Power (6/1), Raqraaq (10/1), Warning Sign (11/1), Voltaic (11/1), Marsh Benham (12/1), Vellner (12/1), Luna Magic (14/1), Sirius White (14/1), Finn Russell (22/1), King of The Dance (25/1), Jenson Benson (28/1), Always Fearless (40/1)

BEAUTIFUL CROWN hasn't looked back since joining Jack Jones and is fancied to make it 3-3 for the yard off a still workable mark. The reliable Cervetto could emerge as the main threat, especially if the fitting of cheekpieces ekes out a bit more improvement. Dakota Power, Vellner and Voltaic are all worthy of respect too.
