With Battaash remaining the best sprinter in Europe it may pay to follow the form from the Temple Stakes over this C&D. MUTHMIR was fifth and could be hard to beat dropping to Listed level with conditions very much in his favour. Doctor Sardonicus wasn't far behind him and he's looked suited by fast conditions in the past so could sneak into a place at a price. Judicial is so consistent he rates the main danger while Duke Of Firenze would have preferred easier going but was a real eye-catcher at Epsom. Final Venture is running into form and should make a bold defence after last year's success.
