Things haven't really panned out for Cumulus Nimbus lately and that may not change here as he seems at his best when getting something to aim at despite two wins in single figure fields. Saeed bin Suroor saddles three runners as he bids to land this prize for the third time in five years and Dettori has opted for KIRKLEES who has solid enough claims despite a slightly disappointing run at York. Timepiece is entitled to come on for her latest outing which was her first start since Royal Ascot and has claims. Penitent faces no easy task at the weights but he has long been regarded as a Group horse since running away with the Lincoln in March; there was no disgrace in his defeat by the talented Cityscape last time when shaping as though well worth a try over this longer trip.
