The progressive Kingdom Come is upped in trip having landed a hat-trick over 7f at Kempton but ATRIUM makes more appeal. The latter landed a double in this grade last year and a better effort in the Spring Cup here last time when ahead of Bless Him and Alrehb suggests a return to form is imminent under Ryan Moore. Unforgotten disappointed at Newmarket on his Turf debut and Outbreak won a lower grade contest at Headquarters recently while Wanees is better than his no show in the Lincoln suggests. Last year’s Royal Hunt Cup runner-up Intellogent can race off the same mark today while Sonny Liston has been gelded and has switched yards since last in action.
