Formscan - King Of Conquest sets the standard after being denied by the smallest of margins in the Aston Park at Newbury, and he is a course winner so has to be respected. However, AIMERIC is taken to improve past him. Roger Varian's five-year-old has risen up the handicap ranks and took a class 2 event in smooth style at Lingfield, which puts him on a rating of 108. The son of Frankel can take another step forward and complete the hat-trick. Deauville Legend will find this easier than his fourth in the Ormonde Stakes and rounds out the shortlist.
