Aidan O'Brien won this race last year with Highland Reel and
Idaho would appear to be his best chance of landing a ninth success in the race, but the five-year-old has plenty on his plate if he is to get the better of
CRACKSMAN. John Gosden's charge took his form to a new level in the Champion Stakes at Ascot at the end of last season and he made light work of his rivals in a French Group 1 on his reappearance. He could be even better as a four-year-old and will be hard to beat here.
Hawkbill has been in excellent form and should be competitive after another Group 1 success at Meydan when last seen.
