AL AZD has been most progressive since the blinkers went on and his second in the King George V Stakes at the Royal Meeting is without question a strong piece of form, so he remains of firm interest. Fellow 3-y-o Study of Words was possibly amiss to shape as he did at Doncaster and is worth another chance to resume his progress, while Merveilleux Lapin is also feared back in a handicap.
