STEPPER POINT (NAP) finished close behind Sole Power in this a year ago and also in Group 1 races at Royal Ascot, York and at Meydan last month. He doesn't have Eddie Lynam's charge to worry about here and, though he has a Group 3 penalty to contend with, looks the one to be on. He finished behind Pearl Secret in the King's Stand Stakes but reversed the form later and should have a fitness advantage. Watchable is a cracking handicapper who very nearly stepped up into this company with a victory when just edged out by Astaire in the Abernant Stakes over 6f here. The veteran Kingsgate Native finished runner-up in this last year and continued to perform with credit later but didn't win until Beverley in September when the 2011 Prix De L'Abbaye hero Tangerine Trees was fourth. Goldream steps out of handicap company and is unlikely to improve on his 29th start.
