Ran very well when second in this last season and close to best at Goodwood last time. Big run on the cards at a track we know suits.

Better than ever when beating Barney Roy on reappearance at Ascot - he's gone on to win in France since - and Sir Michael Stoute's charge will be hard to beat.

Trainer knows what it takes to win this race and this horse very much caught the eye at York last week. Needs the gaps to open in time but will go close if they do.

Needs to take a big leap forward from winning at Salisbury last time but represents top team who think it's worth a punt. Can hit the frame at a huge price.
