Verdict

Soto Sizzler wins his fair share and Callum Hutchinson takes off 5lb again but he finished just behind ONEFORTHEGUTTER at York last month and is no better off at the weights. The latter, just beaten in a Group 2 at Deauville last year, came right back to his best on the Knavesmire and this looks to be his best trip so he is well worth a second look in this. Pistoletto rarely runs a bad race and Majestic is worth another try over this distance. Charlie Appleby runs Ottoman Fleet and Warren Point and both have claims with the latter 3-4 and still heading in the right direction. The other Godolphin runner Marching Army and Sea The Casper boast a similar record and Hamaki arrives on a hat-trick.
