Decent form this season with a win and two placings. Well held behind Rahiebb in G2 Yorkshire Cup last time. Likely to find this out of reach.

Classy prospect and G1 Irish St Leger winner last season. Solid third in G1 Prix Vicomtesse Vigier last month. First time at this trip. Can feature with the right run.

Landed G1 Prix du Cadran over this distance in October. Highlighted ability with success in G1 Prix Vicomtesse Vigier last time. Lots to like. One to watch.

Neck winner of Henry II Stakes last time. Beaten 14L when third in this race 12 months ago. Would have to improve even further.

Seven-time winner and finished third and fourth in this race. Decent second in G3 Henry II Stakes last time. Good credentials.

Brilliant 7L winner of this last season. Followed up in Lonsdale and Long Distance Cup. Lacks a prep run this time. Expect another bold bid.

Career best came when a 0.75L winner of the G2 Queen's Vase at this meeting last season. Arrives in winning form after 3200m Listed victory in Ireland. More needed but a contender.

G3 winner but yet to win over more than 2700m. Only midfield in G3 Henry II Stakes last time. Meets a tough line-up and prefer others.

Only a neck behind Scandinavia in G1 St Leger last season. Superb when a 2.25L winner of Yorkshire Cup on comeback. Up in trip here. Has potential and rates a live contender.

Five wins in a row including G1 Goodwood Cup and St Leger last season. Warmed up for this with G3 Saval Beg victory. Tries this trip for the first time. Strong chance of remaining unbeaten.

Up in class after a 1.25L second in Bronte Cup at York last time. First time at this trip. Likely to find this out of reach.
