The going is Good To Firm.
Went agonisingly close when a neck away in Listed company at Newbury last time, and with a top course jockey aboard and more to offer, Albert Einstein shapes as a serious threat here; the worry is whether that consistent recent form can be converted into the win column.
Winless in its last five starts, Aspect Island steps back up to 6f in a first-time visor, and there's a case it wasn't entirely seen to best effect when beaten five lengths in a Group 1 here last time — yet stepping up in class looks the chief obstacle despite proven versatility over the trip.
Cheekpieces applied for the first time as Brussels, yet to win in his last five starts, returns 27 days on from a beaten fourth in the Sandy Lane Group 2 — a performance that mirrored his three-year-old debut. Handles today's trip and conditions, but whether he can rediscover the level he showed as a juvenile remains the question.
Consistent winner of four of his last five starts, Charles Darwin arrives in fine fettle and is well-suited by today's trip and conditions — blinkers added for the first time could sharpen him up after a flat reappearance. The worry is whether that nine-length defeat still lingers.
Placed in the Middle Park and a neck winner of the Commonwealth Cup Trial on this course last time out, Coppull clearly handles today's conditions and trip well — though 49 days off the track and a mark of 110 leave questions about whether he returns to that peak.
