Royal Etiquette is the only previous course winner in the line-up but he's not been firing lately and was a long way behind EUGENIC on the all-weather at Kempton in June, though did blow the start. Despite better terms, it's difficult to see the form being reversed here and Rod Millman's charge, a fair fourth at Newbury subsequently, looks the one to beat this evening. Nafaath should be thereabouts on recent form and Westerly also has claims, though is harder to predict.
