Dream Machine overcame trouble in-running to justify favouritism last time at Epsom. He was placed on soft going at Sandown last month and is very consistent so makes more appeal than Goodwood runner-up Al Zaman, who is untried on the surface. Albert's Back remains unexposed but MICHAEL’S MOUNT should be hard to beat on his favourite surface. He’s coped well with a steady climb up the weights this year and won over this trip at Catterick around this time last year. Pumblechook should find this easier than recent tasks but Indy may be in the handicapper’s grip now.
