We are siding with Hopewell Rock for English trainer George Boughey who has been progressive through the handicap scene this summer. He gave Geelong Cup runner-up Small Fry 4.5kg and beat him at Goodwood before the jockey dropped the whip in the Ebor, beaten a head. He should measure right up.
Trustyourinstinct fits a lovely Cup profile and looks the pick of the Joseph O'Brien runners. He won the Curragh Cup stylishly two starts back, beating Al Riffa, then boxed on well in Group 1 company. He has the in-form James McDonald onboard coming off a four-timer on Derby Day.
Point Of Law was awesome when winning the Geelong Cup on just his fifth start in a fast time. He handled that well and if he sees out two miles (3200m) he has a huge chance.

Berry Edge should have more to come for Dan Skelton on the back of his Uttoxeter success and can deny Lucy The Wire the hat-trick.
This is no penalty kick for the selection, but he has only had two starts for his new yard since leaving David Thompson/having wind surgery, and looked one to follow when winning last time.
A very slowly-run race wouldn't suit, as he clearly stays well/is best coming off a decent gallop, but the hope is that Crown Of India will ensure it's not run at a dawdle.

Kiniro has been in great form back on all-weather of late and gets the vote.
The Dan Horsford-trained gelding acts over further but all of his wins have come over this trip, and he has appreciated the drop back in distance of late, winning well at Kempton before almost following up at Southwell.
He was unlucky not to peg back Paradise Walk that day, so a 1 lb rise looks more than manageable, and he's the one to beat once more.
