13:50 - Perfuse

He is ground-versatile, and probably most importantly has won on heavy, and he comes here after a fair fifth in the King George V handicap at Royal Ascot last time. That was over 1m4f but maybe 1m2f in this ground will suit him better. I'd be hopeful of a decent run but it is clearly a very open handicap.

14:25 - Unquestionable (Non-runner)

He is our selected of three we had in here. He shaped very well on soft in a Listed race on his debut before winning his maiden very impressively. And he stepped up again when just touched off in the Railway Stakes last time. There are plenty to be worried about it in here, but I think he probably brings the best form into the race, with impressive July Stakes winner Jasour carrying a 3lb penalty for that Group 2 win.

15:00 - Espionage

Once again, we had three in here at the five-day stage but we rely on Espionage, who I was very impressed with on his return at Roscommon. Obviously, this is a much deeper race but he was just touched off in deep ground in a Group 1 at Saint-Cloud last season and I'd be expecting a big run from him here.

15:35 - Above The Curve

She obviously faces a very stiff task against Blue Rose Cen and Nashwa, but she is a Group 1 filly in her own right who handles very deep ground if required. She comes in here in very good nick too, having beaten Sunday's Prix Rothschild winner Mase De Sevigne at Saint-Cloud in May and she ran a solid race for me when third in the Pretty Polly last time. She has a tough job on against the principals, but she is not without a chance.

16:45 - Metal Merchant

He ran well at Ascot last time, handles soft ground and a mile looks to be his trip. He has a solid chance in what is obviously another hugely competitive handicap.

17:20 - Classical Song

I don't know that much about her at the moment but she cost 420,000 guineas at the Arqana Breeze Ups in May, so hopefully she looks and acts the part. She is a Lope De Vega filly out of a Group 3-winning mare on soft, and she is related to a lot of winners, so there is certainly plenty of encouragement there.
