MUCH TOO DEAR is lightly raced and looked ahead of his mark when a staying-on second at Ascot last time, so he's worth chancing to get the better of last-time-out winner Fortunate Man, who probably hasn't reached his limit either. Hurricane Harvey is another one to note having slipped to an appealing mark.
