There seems little point in trying to oppose STRADIVARIUS provided the rain stays away after his game effort in the Ascot Gold Cup when last seen and he's hard to pick holes with course form on his side having won this race last year. Torcedor wasn't far behind the selection in the Gold Cup and he would certainly be of interest if the ground turns soft. Call To Mind is the most interesting from the remainder after a career best effort in a US Grade 2 last time out.
