Going - Good to Firm (Good in places). 
View all races Draw Analysis Result Odds Compare

Formscan  - Flight Plan struggled in the Queen Anne last month, but the former Group 2 winner finished second in the corresponding event 12 months ago and could be sharpened up by the addition of first-time cheekpieces. However, EMBESTO makes plenty of appeal judged on his third in the Summer Mile recently and is another that can benefit from an ease in class. Hi Royal finished ahead of Flight Plan at the Royal meeting, albeit well beaten, but he reached the frame in the Earl Of Sefton in April and a reproduction of that performance would bring him into the reckoning.
