British trainers have a fair record in this race and Ed Dunlop's SKUKUZA may well claim another prize on these shores, having looked progressive when winning a listed race at Curragh in June prior to getting right back on track when a close third in a Group 3 at York. Johan was as good as ever when landing his breakthrough pattern success at the Curragh, while Mutasarref (1-1 in headgear) should go well with cheekpieces refitted. Of the rest, Comanche Brave could be interesting back over 1m.
