Verdict

FABRICATE won this race last year and can go well again, but Michael Bell's runner must banish the memory of two poor runs at Sandown and Ascot. The small field will suit and this looks much less taxing than either of those missions, ensuring the Royal runner shades the verdict. Convey has yet to prove as adept on turf compared to the AW and has that question to answer. First Sitting ran well in a French Group 3 and is best placed to take advantage should the selection fail to fire, just ahead of improving three-year-old Global Giant.
