Verdict

The form of the St James's Palace Stakes looks solid and CIRCUS MAXIMUS could be hard to beat with the potential of more to come at one mile. Too Darn Hot is the obvious danger if he can see out this extra furlong after an impressive win over seven furlongs in France last time out. Irish 2,000 Guineas winner Phoenix Of Spain is better than what he showed at Royal Ascot and he will benefit if this race turns into a test of stamina while similar can be said for the selections stablemate and sole filly in the line-up I Can Fly.
  1. Circus Maximus
  2. Too Darn Hot
  3. Phoenix Of Spain
