11/4

Strong traveller who hasn't always looked to relish a battle but saw off Phantom Flight second time up in this 12 months ago. Pretty good record fresh also and 4-time Group 3 winner is the one to beat on these terms for all he's far from a solid betting proposition. First time under Marquand.

16/1

Progressive during his debut season in 2022, winning 3 times at up to this trip, and mostly good efforts without success last term, although held by Al Aasy here and at Haydock final 2 starts. Gelded ahead of first run for new stable after 11 months off and has hood fitted. Might come on for it.

13/2

Won the listed Gala Stakes at Sandown last year and followed on from his fine fourth in the Wolferton on return when second in corresponding event a fortnight ago. Needs more to take this.

Alyanaabi³²

Age: 3| Weight: 8-13| J: Jim Crowley| T: Owen Burrows| OR: 112

6/5

Won Group 3 over 7f at Newmarket last September and 3½ lengths second to City of Troy in Dewhurst there on final 2-y-o start. Creditable runs without advancing his form in the 2000 Guineas and St James's Palace this term and will appreciate this drop in grade and longer trip. Big shout.

Form: 1412-55

Sons And Lovers³⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 8-13| J: Hollie Doyle| T: Jane Chapple-Hyam| OR: 103

13/2

Debut 7f winner at Newmarket in 2023 and improved efforts in defeat this term, third in hot listed Sandown race before fading to finish sixth in the Hampton Court at Royal Ascot. More required but he's only had 4 starts.

Form: 1-336

Forecasts

Alyanaabi (6/5), Al Aasy (11/4), Sons And Lovers (13/2), Savvy Victory (13/2), Phantom Flight (16/1)

An interesting battle between Shadwell's AL AASY and Alyanaabi with the enigmatic 7-y-o taken to win the race for the second season running. He's far from the safest of conveyances but has a pretty good record fresh and at Newbury and can put his best foot forward. Alyanaabi drops in grade having contested the Guineas and St James's Palace and looks set for a big run up in trip.
