Rivet sets the standard on form with his Racing Post Trophy win at the end of last season but his most disappointing run came here and he may be better suited to a flatter surface. War Decree went well here two starts back and backed that effort up with a Group 2 win at Goodwood, but O'Brien's runners can need their seasonal reappearance. The Hannon family have a fine record in this race though and LARCHMONT LAD looks capable of making it three wins from the last four renewals for his trainer. The form of his Group win here at the end of last season has worked out well and he may have improved over the winter. Benbatl made an impressive debut and shouldn't be underestimated on just his second start if he turns up here rather than the Greenham.
