Saeed bin Suroor's yard won this in 2012 and HUMAN NATURE's first run behind Torrent here earlier in the month was a decent effort considering he was drawn on the outside. He's had better luck with the draw today and can repel a clutch of nicely-bred newcomers. Richard Hannon has had the winner three times in the last six years and introduces the New Approach colt Dubai Mission. His dam produced a winner with her only other offspring while Joules is a half-brother to four winners including Curvy, who landed last week's Ribblesdale at Royal Ascot. William Haggas has a good strike rate here with his juveniles so Shaka Zulu is also worth a second look, as is Projection though the latter pair have a high draw to overcome.
