Godolphin and Coolmore both hold a strong hand in this contest with CROSS COUNTER taken to back up an impressive Goodwood success up in class here and he's the preference of stable jockey William Buick. There's no shortage of dangers in the line-up and while stablemate Old Persian was too keen in the Irish Derby last time, he's capable of better if he can get some cover here. The Pentagon ran well in that race and may be able to build on that but Ryan Moore prefers Kew Gardens who arrives on the back of two Group wins. Wells Farhh Go won over 7f at this meeting last year and should go well again after a Newmarket success last time out.
