This is potentially more wide open than the market suggests so it could be worth chancing CUT A DASH, who created a very good impression when clocking a good time at York. Aidan O'Brien has won this a record 11 times and holds a strong hand once again with Great Barrier Reef and Confucius, while Royal Heritage was extremely impressive at Hamilton and can leave the bare form well behind.
