Verdict

Last month's London Gold Cup at Newbury is usually one of the hottest 3-y-o handicaps of the season so OLD SMOKE, who wasn't beaten far into sixth in that, might be able to show he's on a workable mark in these slightly calmer waters. Dancing In Paris has made a strong start to his handicap career and is second choice ahead of Gareeb, who looks the pick of the Charlie Johnston trio. Top-weight Coco Jack is another to consider.
