Race preview
A wide open contest as seen by the betting and plenty in with chances. Qaader looks likely to try to take them along under Jim Crowley and battled back once headed to win last time out at Goodwood, and with just 1lb more from the handicapper, he will take some passing. Tawleed in the same colours will be far happier on this faster surface than he was at Goodwood and could well outrun his price under Robert Havlin but a chance is taken on AERION POWER. Sir Michael Stoute's Kingman colt only ever seems to do enough to get to the front when needed and can need to be ridden from some way out, but he has got there where it counts on his last three starts, and may well have even more to offer.
