Verdict

Aidan O'Brien has enjoyed plenty of recent success in this race with the recently retired Order Of St George and FLAG OF HONOUR may be able to take over the reins and give his trainer a fifth win in the race. Latrobe is better than he showed last time out in the Juddmonte International at York and if he can reproduce the level of form that saw him win the Irish Derby, he shouldn't be far away. Weekender is progressive and can't be ruled out after a huge effort in the Ebor last time. His trainer enjoyed success in this race in the 2011 and 1992 renewals of this race.
