Bronze Angel attempts to win this for third time after adding to his 2012 success with last year's victory. But he carries a penalty for a recent win at Doncaster when beating Man Of Harlech and third-placed BIRDMAN. The latter would have finished even closer if not for losing a shoe during the race and David O'Meara's charge can reverse running on better terms here. Stablemate Earth Drummer is closely matched with Shergar Cup Mile winner Halation while Royal Hunt Cup winner Gm Hopkins won last year's consolation for this but has shot up the weights since. Irish raider Portage scored at Ascot before going close again at the Curragh ahead of Brendan Brackan while Epsom third Abseil is preferred to Third Time Lucky in this grade. Energia Davos made a winning return at Ascot and is not out of this while John Smith's Cup winner Master Carpenter and Fire Fighting could go well returning to handicap company. The three-year-old Listed winner Nafaqa makes his handicap debut and is preferred to the struggling Prince Gagarin of the remainder.
