DELACROIX is 2-2 over this C&D and looks the one to beat if bouncing back to the form he showed when winning the Eclipse. He can enhance Aidan O'Brien's fine recent record in this race, though he'll likely face a stern test from the best of the older horses. Last season's Tattersalls Gold Cup winner White Birch has a fine record when fresh, while Anmaat has plenty of high-class form to his name and could prove dangerous back on an easier surface.
