This looks a fascinating clash between the top three runners with preference for IVAN GROZNY. He was in excellent fettle back in the autumn when last seen, landing a Grade Two at this trip with very little fuss and can pick up where he left off for the champion trainer. Sutton Place was on an upward curve too back in the spring but he'll have to pull out some more to get the better of the selection on his first run for 306 days. Supasundae has fitness and a recent win in his favour but the drop in trip isn't necessarily a positive thing.
