Verdict

TABDEED seemed back to his best when a close third in the Hackwood Stakes at Newbury last time, so his claims are obvious dropping in grade here. Summerghand's form has dipped slightly and he must concede weight all round, but he still commands plenty of respect. Royal Scimitar remains unexposed at this trip and also looks interesting.
