Bauer set for bold show
Luca Cumani has won the Ebor three times in the last nine years and his Bauer looks a likely type for this year's substitute totesport Newburgh.
The 5yo dropped down from Group class to chase home stablemate Sanbuch in a decent Glorious Goodwood handicap.
Laid out for this since that run, he will appreciate the switch from York to Newbury, where he won twice in 2006 and ran well in better company in April.

Art looks genuineArt Connoisseur almost certainly caught a tartar when second to Mastercraftsman at the Curragh last month and can hit back in the Gimcrack at Newbury.
Michael Bell's charge had previously followed up wins at Leicester and Newmarket by storming to victory in the Coventry Stakes at Royal Ascot.
Marine Boy impressed when scoring over this C&D on debut and is held in high esteem, but this is a big step up.
