STATED posted a career-best performance when finishing 2nd over this trip last time and will have a role to play in the finish if building on that improvement. Preference, however, is for ARISTOTLE who put 5 lengths between himself and the former over this distance on the summer course in early May. UNSUNG HERO, NOBLE HERO and TORRES are open to improvement trying this extended trip for the first time, so aren't taken lightly. The same could be said of returning TIME HONORED who attracted betting support on debut 4 months ago. JOUEUR DE FLUTE could also get involved if taking his place.
