Fourth in 2011, ETON RIFLES came up trumps in last year's renewal and there's no reason he can't win it again. He's had just the one start this year when beaten a short-head over 5f at Ascot and should be sharper for that. Jack Dexter has leading claims after pushing Slade Power close in a Group 2 last time but carries a penalty for his earlier win at Newcastle. Hoof It has something to find with the latter, but Ayr Gold Cup winner Highland Colori arrives in fine form and can go close. Morache Music just got the better of Spinatrix over track and trip last month while Mass Rally beat Hallelujah at York but ran below par in soft ground last time. German raider Gracia Directa has won in this country before but stablemate and recent winner Amelie Beat is harder to assess.
