Expert Eye seems to have blotted his copybook on his last two starts, his last as a juvenile and his first this season as a three-year-old, and I fancy he will need to improve a bundle to win this.

Craven Stakes hero Masar was convincing to the eye a couple of weeks ago, but on the clock he has plenty to find, while Roaring Lion and Saxon Warrior have different questions to answer following their battle in the Racing Post last weekend.
