Verdict

Powerful Wind has been raised 5lb for winning at Chepstow while Lingfield runner-up Royal Brave may be better over 6f. Salvatore Fury is closely matched with Tahchee on last year's form but is starting to come down the weights again and could go well while Macdillon goes well fresh. He also runs his best races here as does Rocket Rob. Willie Musson's nine-year-old's last two victories on the track have come off higher marks and he will be a threat to all if ready after a short break. EXTRASOLAR won off a 7lb higher mark on fast ground at Bath around this time last year. Ryan Moore takes over the reins after a better run last week over 6f at Epsom and he might be the one to beat.
