J: Sean Levey

T: Richard Hannon

Versatile as regards ground; smart on his day and enhanced his good Epsom record when only narrowly denied a second successive win in the Group 3 Diomed (8.5f, good to soft) 11 days ago; Listed winner over this trip on good to firm in 2024; good chance on the Epsom form but stall 16 isn't ideal.

J: Sean Levey

T: Richard Hannon

Versatile as regards ground; gelded prior to below-par effort in sole start this term; smart on his day and is 2-2 at Epsom with wins at this meeting for the last two years; beat Ice Max (who received 3lb) by just under 1l in this race 12 months ago and warrants respect back here.

J: Oisin Murphy

T: Richard Hannon

Had Ryan Moore on board when winning this race (good to soft) last year and produced another big effort for that rider when landing similar event at Epsom (good) in June; didn't match that form subsequently but has been gelded and no surprise if he goes well in the bid to retain his crown under Oisin Murphy this time; entered in Group 1 Lockinge Stakes.

J: Sean Levey

T: Richard Hannon

Came up short in German Group 1 last time; generally progressive otherwise and record of 7-17 features Group 3 wins at Newmarket (1m1f, good to soft) and Epsom (8.5f, good; beat Ice Max) this term; one of the main contenders on ratings, back down in grade.

J: Ryan Moore

T: Richard Hannon

Came up well short in the Group 1 Lockinge last time; generally progressive otherwise and recorded a comfortable success in the 1m2f handicap on this card 12 months ago; bagged Group 3 honours at Newmarket (1m1f, good to soft) in April and warrants respect back at this level.
