A cracking renewal of this Group 1 sprint but it's still hard to side against French raider LAZZAT who impressed when taking the Jubilee Stakes over C&D at the Royal meeting in June and wasn't seen to best effect when fifth in Haydock's Sprint Cup subsequently. He can quickly resume winning ways at the chief expense of last year's victor Kind of Blue, although Montassib can also have a big say after his promising reappearance third at Newbury. Big Mojo and King Cuan complete the shortlist.
