Verdict

LAKE FOREST returns to what is probably his optimum distance after his eye-catching fifth in the Queen Elizabeth II Jubilee at Royal Ascot and can prove too strong for course specialists Qirat and Witness Stand.

2	Very smart performer who was second to Witness Stand in this last year. Returned from a gelding operation to win 7f Haydock listed race in May. Best work late when 1½ lengths fifth of 18 to Almeraq in Queen Elizabeth II Jubilee Stakes at Royal Ascot (6f, good to firm) since. Good shout back at 7f. 1st Pick 2 Lake Forest Jockey: Cieren Fallon Trainer: William Haggas J: Cieren Fallon T: William Haggas	100	-	-	-	46%	6/5

5	Smart performer who caused a huge upset in the Sussex Stakes at this meeting last year. Back to winning ways when proving too strong for Never So Brave in 7f York Group 3 last month and he's 3-3 at Goodwood. 2nd Pick 5 Qirat Jockey: C. T. Keane Trainer: Ralph Beckett J: C. T.

7	Saw off Lake Forest to win this race last year. Back to his best after a breathing operation (also tongue tied) when narrowly denied by Ten Bob Tony in Group 3 at Epsom on Derby day but needs to shrug off a disappointing effort at Chester since. 3rd Pick 7 Witness Stand Jockey: Kieran Shoemark Trainer: Dr Richard Newland & Jamie Insole J: Kieran Shoemark T: Dr Richard Newland & Jamie Insole	98	-	-	-	13%	7/1
