DALTON HIGHWAY landed the inaugural running of this race last year and, just 2 lb higher this time round, he is taken to repeat the dose. The 8-y-o shaped better than his finishing position would suggest at Royal Ascot recently and has won twice and finished second once from 5 starts here. Arcadian Sunrise is feared on his handicap debut in this sphere and Golden Spear also enters calculations.
