Formscan  - Witness Stand defeated LAKE FOREST in this contest 12 months ago, but it's hard to envisage that form being upheld this time around. William Haggas' gelding returned with an impressive Listed win at Haydock before emerging with plenty of credit in the Queen Elizabeth II Jubilee Stakes at Royal Ascot. It did once again prove that 6f is probably a little shy of his optimal trip, though, and he is upwards of 4lb clear on official ratings. Qirat bounced back to form in the Criterion and is sure to threaten if allowed to set his own fractions, while Marvelman appears to hold solid claims too.
