Verdict

A switch to hold-up tactics has worked a treat for SCOVILLE and he still looks well treated off 4 lb higher than when winning with a bit to spare at Doncaster last month. The lightly-raced Gavriel was first home on his side in the Cambridgeshire and rates an obvious danger. Irish raider Excellent Believe, last year's winner Crown of Oaks and the reliable Ebt's Guard also make the shortlist.

    Verdict
    Well-bred Frankel colt who has progressed fast, comfortably seeing off next-time-out winner Balzac on 1¼m course handicap debut in September. First home in his group when fourth of 27 in the Cambridgeshire at Newmarket (9f, firm) since. Capable of better again and likely to have a big say.

    Low-mileage 4-y-o who was much better than bare result on back of a breathing operation in Royal Hunt Cup/Golden Mile this summer. Confirmed those impressions with a ready win in 1m handicap at the Doncaster St Leger meeting last month. Had a bit to spare and 4 lb rise could prove lenient.

    Gained reward for some excellent placed efforts in top handicaps when bagging a good prize at Sandown (1m, good to firm) in July. Bounced back from rare below-par effort at Glorious Goodwood when creditable ninth of 27 in Cambridgeshire but it underlines he needs more from his triple-figure mark.
