J: Ryan Moore

Ran respectably sole start on good to firm; 0-8 in Group 1 races but has won five lesser Group contests and he's a leading contender on form; impressive over the extended 1m5f at Chester in May, galloping on relentlessly; first venture beyond that when disappointing favourite at York (2m) three weeks ago but he's nevertheless back for more in the Cup races and over an even longer trip this time; interesting to see whether his backers return.

Ran respectably sole start on good to firm; 0-8 in Group 1 races but has won five lesser Group contests and he's a leading contender on form; brother to the very smart Broome, who won at up to 2m, but he's not himself been beyond the extended 1m5f of his impressive Chester win in May; galloped on relentlessly that day, so has to be of major interest.

Useful sort has won four times, including in this grade at Listowel in 2021; didn't add to his laurels last year but ran some cracking races in defeat, including in Group company; however, has been absent since June, so that tempers enthusiasm.

Quality performer won the Group 3 Ballysax Stakes early last year before finishing a 7l 2nd in the Irish Derby; similar efforts in defeat in the Group 2 Mooresbridge Stakes and Group 1 Tattersalls Gold Cup both starts this term; unhelpful draw but holds a strong chance if fully effective on this surface.
