Formscan  - Trainer Roger Varian has won two of the last nine runnings and he relies on French Duke, who finished down the field over further at Goodwood last time out. He can go well on his third start after being gelded, but top-weight MOUNT ATLAS is preferred. A winner at Ascot last month when coming from off the pace with a well-timed run, an added 5lb may not stop him following up under Oisin Murphy. Doncaster second Marhaba The Champ has won here twice, including this prize in 2023, and could hit the frame at a massive price.
