RACING POST VERDICT
Benvenuto Cellini looked a top-class prospect winning a Group 3 at Chester by four lengths and his non-start at Epsom — caused by a stalls incident — should be entirely set aside; the faster going here is strongly in his favour and he is our selection. Christmas Day won the Group 1 at Epsom by three lengths last time and has strong form claims, but the quicker surface is a query for him. Raaheeb, unbeaten and open to improvement at this trip, and James J Braddock, who ran a fine third at Epsom and should relish this track, are the main dangers.
