Favourite's have a surprisingly good record with four of the last seven winning. David Elsworth tries Master The World in blinkers after he failed to find a finishing burst at Newmarket and he's well up to this class if they have the desired effect. DIRECTORSHIP dropped a grade after a long losing spell and won nicely at Ascot. He's been raised 6lb but has won over this track and trip at a higher level and can complete a double. Heisman has only had four runs - all on Polytrack - but won two of them and there's no reason why he shouldn't be just as effective on this ground. Jacob Black made most but couldn't quite keep up the gallop when passed by Musaddas at Newmarket. That was his first run back after a long lay-off and he'll be difficult to keep out of the frame under Frankie. Donncha overcame trouble in-running to score over 7f on good ground at Lingfield and though raised 3lb should again take care of third-placed Secret Art.
