Formscan - Al Qareem was an impressive winner of the Grand Cup over C&D a month ago and Karl Burke's gelding has to be respected once again. That said, marginal preference is for TABLETALK, who remains unexposed over this sort of trip and won the Melrose at this venue last season. He was far from disgraced in the Hardwicke last time and will find this easier. Samui and Subsequent are others to consider.
