      Verdict

      Rex Imperator is only 4lb higher than when winning this last year but would have preferred an easier surface. It looks like the handicapper now has a grip on course and distance winner Ashpan Sam while York Glory has been out of sorts this year. Stablemate Blaine has a penalty for last month's hard-fought success at Hamilton and Sir Maximilian also carries extra after winning a competitive affair at the Curragh. Others with an additional 6lb for recent victories are Discussiontofollow and Muthmir, though the latter still looks fairly treated and should be prominent against the far rail. Intrinsic, who beat Ashpan Sam here in May, may yet have more to offer but we're expecting a big run from SEEKING MAGIC with the stands' rail to help. He gets little respite from the handicapper but was desperately unlucky at Epsom in June and won the consolation race on this card 12 months ago when starting from a similarly high berth. Hoodna and Joey's Destiny could be the pick of the remainder.
