DANZENO (NAP) won this 12 months ago as a three-year-old and has the ground in his favour again. He ran a cracker on his reappearance in the Temple Stakes at Haydock, where he only gave best close home, and a repeat is on the cards. Mattmu was just beaten in the Duke Of York, when Aetna was behind, then ran fifth in the Sandy Lane at Haydock so warrants the utmost respect. Mubtaghaa was last on his reappearance at Epsom but is capable of better dropped in trip. Watchable was fifth in last week's Wokingham at Royal Ascot when starting favourite and looks the pick of the remainder ahead of stablemate That Is The Spirit and Eastern Impact, who has yet to prove himself at this level.
