Formscan - CILICIAN might be worth another chance given the strength of his form. He's had three chances now but one of those came at Royal Ascot when he wasn't beaten all that far in the Coventry Stakes, and it was another solid effort at Sandown last time when stepped up to this trip for the first time. He makes more appeal than newcomer Force Of Light and Kempton fourth Primal.
