Back to form with an impressive C&D win last time out and should be able to build on that now. Should get better as he gets older and has a live each-way chance with Moore in the saddle.

Just one win in 24 starts for this yard but he has run well over C&D before and been given a real chance by the handicapper now dropped even further in the weights. Not one to rely upon but can't be ruled out.

Has been frustrating to follow recently, having been narrowly touched off twice is as many months. Handicapper has left him on the same mark and that llooks a little generous so may be able to make his presence felt again with a 5lb claimer in the saddle.

Looked very useful last year and may have needed his comeback run at Haydock last time. Likely he is still well-handicapped off this mark and leading claims with his comeback run under his belt.

C&D winner who won here last season over 6f. Clearly thrives at this course and versatile with regards to ground but he's been struggling off his revised mark since his latest win.

Won on his final start for Kevin Ryan but he's been very disappointing in three starts for this yard, barely beating a rival home in the process. First-time hood needs to spark a return to form if he's to figure.

5/2
Won over C&D two starts back very easily and far from disgraced at Royal Ascot in Group 3 company last time. Lucky he's been left on the same mark for that run and has to be considered a leading player in this contest in receipt of a generous weight for age allowance.

Not won since 2013 and still not particularly well-handicapped even on his best form. Well beaten at Ascot last time out and needs to improve if he's to take a hand in this.

Both wins have come on the AW and he hasn't looked quite as effective on turf. Probably needs a step back up in trip to be of interest.

Will be hoping for some rain as all his victories have come with some give underfoot. Disappointing under suitable conditions last time and first-time cheekpieces go on. Has claims on his best form if the aids work.

Beaten out of sight when used as a pacemaker at Royal Ascot last time out on first start for this yard. This looks much more his level but has historically struggled off marks this high and probably in need of some relief from the handicapper.

Age: 7|  Weight: 9-5| J: James Doyle| T: Ian Williams| OR:  88| D
14/1
He was in a fine run of form in 2015 but only scored once last season and yet to get in the winner's enclosure this time around. Has been running well in handicaps but mark looks a little stiff to be considered for win purposes.

Two-time winner over the mile in France and not beaten far when unfancied in a Class 3 at Doncaster last time week. May come on for that run and has to be of interest of some each-way interest off the same mark again despite the step up in grade.

50/1
Not won for nearly two years when he won off a mark of 97 at Ascot. Has been largely out of form since joining this yard and only time he came close was in an apprentice handicap at Goodwood. Will no doubt try and dominate from the front and well-handicapped on old form but likely to struggle once again in a tough contest.

Not won since his debut effort 23 runs ago and no sign of a revival at Epsom last time. Probably wants softer conditions to be seen at his best.

Still yet to score in 12 turf starts and well beaten on his latest two outings. Dropped 2lb in the handicap and has run well on undualting tracks in the past but others make more appeal.

One win from 13 starts and struggling from his revised mark after winning at Ayr. Needs to step up on all known form if he is to figure here.

Winner at Ayr off a higher mark than this in 2016 but well beaten on all recent starts and shaped as if amiss on his comeback run at Hamilton. Plenty to prove in a race of this nature.

Verdict

PARFAIT ran a fine race at Royal Ascot and should go close off the same mark here. Fawaareq is an unexposed sort who shaped like he would come on for his comeback run while Brigliadoro has been unlucky not to get his head back in front in recent times and has another decent each-way shot.
