Trainer Roger Varian has won two of the last nine runnings and he relies on French Duke, who finished down the field over further at Goodwood last time out. He can go well on his third start after being gelded, but top-weight MOUNT ATLAS is preferred. A winner at Ascot last month when coming from off the pace with a well-timed run, an added 5lb may not stop him following up under Oisin Murphy. Doncaster second Marhaba The Champ has won here twice, including this prize in 2023, and could hit the frame at a massive price.

Topweight MOUNT ATLAS looks the most likely to find further improvement and can follow up his Ascot win.

TRAWLERMAN arrives on the back of wins in the Henry II at Sandown and the Gold Cup at Ascot by seven lengths from the classy Illinois. Despite carrying a Group 1 penalty for the latter success, the former Ebor hero should prove a tough nut to crack once again. Shackleton gets a stone from his older rival as a three-year-old and the Irish Derby eighth has to be of interest at these weights, while Al Qareem is hard to ignore in his hunt for a hat-trick on the Knavesmire.

There could be chinks in Trawlerman's armour and challenges might emerge late on from Sweet William and AL NAYYIR.

Do Or Do Not ran well for a long way before finishing third in the Vintage at Goodwood and in first-time cheekpieces dropping back to 6f, he looks a major player. RECIPROCATED pulled too hard before finishing last in a Listed race over further at Ascot, but had impressed when winning his first two starts at Nottingham and Carlisle. This test should play to his strengths a lot more, while Egoli won here in July and may hold on for third.

Do Or Do Not is top rated but still needs to prove he can get the job done. LIFEPLAN is well regarded and open to major progress.

Lady Iman has stolen all of the headlines leading up to this event as she was supplemented after her Molecomb triumph last month and the daughter of Starman is worth her place at this level. Course winner Jm Jungle produced a career-best when defeating She's Quality by a neck in a Group 2 at Goodwood earlier in the month and it would be no surprise to see him confirm that form. However, Commonwealth Cup silver medallist ARIZONA BLAZE looks the way to go. Adrian Murray's three-year-old accounted for Mgheera by two lengths in a Group 2 at the Curragh on his most recent start and can continue his upward trajectory.

The return to 5f went rather well for ARIZONA BLAZE (nap) at the Curragh and he could yet improve further over the minimum trip.

Zgharta was slowly away and suffered from a troubled passage when fifth over a mile at Goodwood last month. Therefore, with a smoother trip and the step up in distance possibly bringing out improvement, she needs considering. Wonder Star only found one too good in this grade at the same track on her latest outing and is noted, but CAPE FLORA gets the vote. The Gosdens' filly showed a huge amount of improvement when bolting up at Leicester last month and considering the manner of that triumph, she might defy her 11lb rise.

Having bolted up at Leicester last month, the well-bred CAPE FLORA could have lots more to offer now things have clicked.

Naval Light almost atoned for a luckless run in Norfolk at Royal Ascot with a rallying second in a similar event over 6f at Goodwood last month. Slowly away that day, he stayed on well enough to suggest stepping up to 7f should be fine. Frescobaldi represents Aidan O'Brien/Ballydoyle and appeals after two promising starts in Ireland. However, this race is about deep potential and none fits the bill more than INISHBEG. Having cost 500,000gns as a yearling, the son of Ghaiyyath runs for highly respected connections whose decision to pitch him at this level on debut is a telling indication of expectations. New Monarch and Beny Nahar are other compelling options.

It looks quite open among the main form contenders. INISHBEG and Spyce are particularly interesting newcomers.

FEARNOT's third-placed finish in the Britannia at Royal Ascot was highly commendable. However, that effort was bettered when he successfully returned to the same venue in an identically deep handicap last month. A 6lb higher rating might should be manageable for Clive Cox's progressive colt. Montpellier had Yah Mo Be There a place behind when he finished fourth in a similar event over 7f at Goodwood and can confirm the form with improvement possible over this longer trip. The unbeaten Big Leader is up in class but also merits respect.

Several runners tie in with each other. One from a different line of form is BIG LEADER, who gets the vote ahead of Montpellier.
