Going - Straight - Yielding Round - Yielding, yielding to soft in places. Overcast

Formscan By Michael Graham - This season hasn't gone to plan for EXPANDED, but there is still time for that to change. He was unplaced in both 2,000 Guineas appearances in Newmarket and the Curragh, and drops back to 7f. Last season, he enjoyed competing over this trip particularly when just pipped by a neck in the Group 1 Dewhurst Stakes at Newmarket. He sets the standard with a mark of 113. Comanche Brave is rated just 2lb inferior to the selection and was a beaten favourite in third in a Group 3 at Royal Ascot. He was actually in front of Expanded in fifth in the Irish 2,000 Guineas and is a big player. Bravais isn't advantaged by the weights, but could be best of the rest.
