9st 8lb

T: John & Thady Gosden

Impressive in this race last year (good to firm) and took Group 1 tally to four with 4l win in the Prince of Wales's Stakes at Royal Ascot (1m2f, good to firm) in June last time; star 3yo Constitution River is a new rival but this fellow will be very tough to beat if producing his brilliant best.

J: William Buick

T: John & Thady Gosden

Won this by 2l last year (good to firm) and he's added two further Group 1 wins since; confirmed his wellbeing when defying a penalty in the Group 3 Brigadier Gerard at Sandown (1m2f, good) three weeks ago following a two-month break; this is a tougher line-up than 12 months ago and he was runner-up to Daryz's stablemate Calandagan in the Champion Stakes over C&D (good) last October, so he's not bombproof, but he has extremely strong credentials.

Second in this last year on his reappearance and he's won three Group 1 races since (1m2f/1m1f, good to firm/good), the latest the Dubai Turf at Meydan in March on his sole outing this year; John Gosden has said that this is "going to bring him on to where we want him at (Royal) Ascot" but he'll be very tough to beat under a 7lb penalty if close to the top of his game.

9st 7lb

J: William Buick

T: John & Thady Gosden

Record reads 11112121; has developed into a high-class colt this term and stormed past his pacemaker in the latter stages of the Juddmonte International at York (1m2f, good to firm) most recently, comfortably reversing Eclipse placings with Delacroix and adding to his success in the Prince of Wales's Stakes at Royal Ascot; top on ratings and may have an even bigger figure in him.
