Formscan - Old rivals Al Aasy and AL QAREEM set a high standard, but while the former impressed with comfortable win in the Glorious Stakes at Goodwood a fortnight ago, the latter faced an almost impossible task in the Goodwood Cup at the same fixture and might make the most of dropping in both class and trip here. The selection had 13 lengths to spare over William Haggas' gelding when landing the Cumberland Lodge at Ascot last October. Three-year-olds have a good record in this race, winning five of the last seven renewals, and Go Daddy completes the shortlist on that basis.
