Formscan - Inisherin (first) got the better of JASOUR (third) when the pair met in the Commonwealth Cup at Royal Ascot last month and, though the former was undoubtedly impressive on that occasion, it may pay to side with the latter. It was a testament to his ability that he was able to finish third, despite plenty going wrong in the aforementioned contest, breaking awkwardly before racing too keenly throughout. Granted a smoother passage this time around, Clive Cox's C&D winner should make a bold bid to reverse form here. High-class operator Vandeek is on the comeback trail after a below-par effort in the Sandy Lane at Haydock, while River Tiber merits respect back down to arguably his optimum trip.
