With the majority of this field needing to prove they can stay ROBERT JOHNSON really catches the eye. I have followed him for a while now and he ran a massive race in defeat denied the four-timer at Goodwood. He was late down to the start and somewhat slowly into stride but stayed on strongly only just failing to get to the winner Temporize with the front pair clear. He is back in trip but won over C&D on penultimate start and was ridden closer to the pace that time which will likely be the same scenario here.

He is only 4lb higher but with his form stacking up looks the way to go once more. Aztec Empire could be the biggest danger as he travelled well for a long way behind Sweet William at Newbury and that is solid form. Tronador is another one expected to be involved getting weight from most of the field.
