Seriously smart two-year-old is unbeaten from three starts including a taking success over Lope Y Fernandez at Royal Ascot. Very much the one to beat on that level of form and proved he can handle a trick track when winning at Epsom.

Like many of his trainer's four-year-olds, he's on a steep upward curve this season and lost nothing in defeat when nosed out by Beat The Bank at Ascot. Needs a bit of luck from wide draw but normally held up for a late run anyway.

The best stayer we've seen for several years and no matter what his rival throw at him, he seems to come up with the answers. That famous late kick will make him extremely hard to beat in this event once more and he's the day-one banker.
