SONG FOR SOMEONE probably ran as well as he's ever done when attempting to concede 6 lb to Buzz on his Ascot reappearance so is fancied to repeat last year's success in this. Sceau Royal has very much returned at the top of his game so he's feared most ahead of Guard Your Dreams, who was only just over 2 lengths behind the selection at Ascot.
