Verdict

This looks very competitive indeed, with several making plenty of appeal. Top of the list is VEE SIGHT, who scored in good style here in June and subsequently did well to finish as close as he did when fourth at Glorious Goodwood, having looked all at sea on that idiosyncratic track. He has a feather weight and while stall 16 isn't ideal, it's not insurmountable either. Ajero is feared most, while Protagonist and Knight of Honour are also high on the shortlist, along with Dual Identity.

  1. VEE SIGHT
