BRADSELL is the only unbeaten runner in this Group 1 contest and Archie Watson's impressive Coventry winner can maintain his unblemished record at the chief expense of Aidan O'Brien's improving Little Big Bear who bids for a four-timer. Persian Force, Blackbeard and Shartash can fight it out for minor honours.
