Form Snapshot: A winner at 6f, but that win was over three years ago. Finished 6l behind Supercharger when fifth of 10 at 6-1 on his latest outing at Churchill Downs over 1m 1f (good) in June. He is wearing blinkers for the first time. Difficult to fancy on recent efforts

Form Snapshot: Has won eight races from 1m to 1m 4f. Beaten a short head by Harrow when second of 7 at 5-2fav on his latest outing at Belmont At The Big A over 1m 3f (good) in June. Strong contender with solid record

Verdict
CAPITAL PARTNER could prove the one to beat after finishing a close fourth the last time out. Complex Agenda and Mutaawid also merit consideration.
