Praxiteles went off too quickly on his reappearance at Newbury but will probably be ridden with more restraint here and can't be ignored. L'Accordioniste is unbeaten in three starts under NH rules and should make her presence felt, while Higgy's Boy returned to something like his best at Sandown last month. Monetary Fund's Newbury second suggested his turn wasn't far away but AATHER's fourth at Ascot will have pleased connections and this strong-travelling type may be poised to take advantage of what could be a lenient mark.
