Verdict

Henry Callan rode the winner of this race 12 months ago and can taste further success courtesy of DIAMOND BAY. The Tom Ward-trained gelding is getting on a bit and finds victories hard to come by now, but he wasn't beaten far at Newbury last time and has struck over C&D before. Circuit Breaker and Roland Garros are capable of making nuisances of themselves, and Benvoy is interesting with Brodie Hampson booked for his return to the level.

Top Tip: Diamond Bay (5)
Watch out for: Circuit Breaker (1)

CIRCUIT BREAKER ran well here at the big meeting in the spring and should find this much easier than his recent assignments. He will appreciate the return to the AW and races off a mark 13lb below his last winning one. With a top amateur booked he is picked to defeat Diamond Bay whose latest runner up effort has been boosted by the winner. He's also 13lb below his last winning mark and looks the main threat ahead of Further Measure who has proven consistent for some time over staying trips on the AW.
