Been a brilliant servant for connections and has come very close in some of the biggest staying races around.
However, he hasn't really looked the same horse this season and connections now reach for the blinkers.
Big ask to secure his first group 1 here.

Won this race last season by 20 lengths and is now a 7 time group 1 winner.
Has to go down as one of the best stayers we have seen in a long time if not ever.
Hard to see him being beaten.

Another who has been an unbelievable horse for connections and he still seems to be running very consistently even into his veteran years.
Beaten 8l by Kyprios in the Goodwood Cup before finishing a good second in the Doncaster Cup last time.
Should run his race but hard to see him reversing the form with Kyprios.

The only French contender in the lineup who has won his last two starts both at group 2 level.
Absolutely bolted up in the second of those 48 days ago.
Comes in here as the young pretender and he should have plenty more to offer.

Hard to believe it took her 15 attempts to get off the mark but she finally did it at Lingfield 63 days ago.
Prior to that she had been placed at listed level and ran well in a group 3.
Hard to see her being involved here however.
