A potentially thrilling renewal of the St James's Palace Stakes is in store with the outstanding juvenile of 2019 Pinatubo recommencing battle (from the 2000 Guineas) with the upwardly mobile Wichita. Aidan O'Brien's charge was arguably always slightly better positioned than his more illustrious rival at Newmarket, but crucially appeared to see out the 1m trip more strongly. However, both have masses to fear from the still unbeaten PALACE PIER. After briefing looking in trouble on seasonal reappearance at Newcastle a fortnight ago, John Gosden's Kingman colt galloped on remorselessly from the furlong pole to strike in a most taking manner. His best days surely lie ahead.
