Verdict

HUMIDITY's juvenile form reads very well now, so it would be no surprise if he defied a year-long absence to further enhance the 3-y-os' excellent recent record in this race. Solid yardstick The Lost King can offer most resistance.

5	Followed up debut win when beating Thesecretadversary in the Chesham at Royal Ascot. Only just edged out in the Solario before rounding off his 2-y-o campaign with an excellent length second to Bow Echo in Royal Lodge here. Off since (has been gelded) but rates a fascinating contender. 1st Pick 5 Humidity Jockey: James Doyle Trainer: Andrew Balding J: James Doyle T: Andrew Balding	92	-	-	-	34%

4	Resumed progress with back-to-back handicap wins at York and only just failed when upped to this level at Haydock. No match with Talk of New York when second in Group 2 here (1m) 2 weeks ago but doesn't have a rival of that calibre to deal with here. Big chance with return to 9f no problem. 2nd Pick 4 The Lost King Jockey: William Buick Trainer: Andrew Balding J: William Buick T: Andrew Balding	100	-	-	-	50%

2	Defied top weight in the Cambridgeshire over C&D last season. Not quite at that level this season but he did manage a narrow win in a listed race at Goodwood in May and a reproduction of that would put him bang there. 3rd Pick 2 Boiling Point (Ire) Jockey: Clifford Lee Trainer: K.
