Verdict

Paisley Park continues to carry all before him and will no doubt want to go into the Stayers off the back of a win here, but IF THE CAP FITS is going to be no pushover and comes into this off the back of an excellent win at Ascot, the form of which has been franked since, and he can cause a minor upset here. L'Ami Serge is a total liability for punters but has the ability if he fancies going through with his finishing effort, and Tobefair continues to impress with his rock-hard attitude, and has lots of course form to call upon.
