9st 2lb

J: Mickael Barzalona

T: F-H Graffard

Superstar gelding who has a record of 222211111 since racing at Group 1 level and is the highest-rated racehorse in the world; couldn't quite get past Jan Brueghel in this race last year but turned the tables in the King George and is on an impressive roll going into another rematch with that rival; prevailed at Meydan (Sheema Classic) last time despite the race not panning out ideally; duly strongly respected, assuming the ground is okay (not certain to run if it's a slog scenario).

J: Mickael Barzalona

T: F-H Graffard

French gelding who has a record of 222211 since upped to Group 1 level, latest win coming in the King George at Ascot (1m4f, good); went down by only half a length when favourite for this race 12 months ago (soft) on last 1m2f attempt; major contender, especially if getting a strong pace to aim at.

J: Mickael Barzalona

T: David Redvers & Mrs Barbara M Keller

High-class French gelding who acts on any ground; arguably outbattled by Jan Brueghel in the Coronation Cup but went down by only half a length and subsequently stretched out well in the Grand Prix de Saint-Cloud, taking his record since racing at Group 1 level to 22221 and overall strike-rate to 5-11; impressive in last year's King Edward VII Stakes in sole C&D attempt; holds rock-solid and leading claims.

J: Mickael Barzalona

T: F-H Graffard

Acts on any ground; talented French gelding whose 3yo form featured an emphatic win at Royal Ascot (1m4f Group 2) and good second to City Of Troy in the International; shaped well off steady pace in the Dubai Sheema Classic in sole run this term; top on ratings.
