Mark Johnston's charge is seven pounds lower than winning over course and distance last year and back to form at Kempton last time. Expect a big run.

Kept very good company last season and placed in some big races having landed the Middleton at York on her reappearance. Will be hard to beat here for the Gosden-Dettori team.

Made a big impression when winning the Craven on his reappearance and can take the step up to Group One company in his stride. His potent turn of foot may prove decisive in the first Classic of the season.
