ILLINOIS ended a losing run at Royal Ascot last time putting a lacklustre effort in the Coronation Cup behind him. The largely consistent top class stayer will appreciate the drop back in trip and can defeat multiple Group 1 winner Al Riffa who was given an overly negative ride in the Gold Cup last time. He was only narrowly denied in the Prix Vicomtesse Vigier prior to that and has proven himself versatile ground wise so is the clear danger. The steadily progressive Floresta showed the benefit of cheekpieces when landing the Stanerra Stakes last time and may do best of the remainder. |

Winner of three G1s; won this last year; ridden to stay 2m4f and probably did without landing a blow when fourth beaten 11l in Gold Cup (Group 1) at Ascot latest; trainer in form; effective 12f+, acts on any; consistent stayer at top level but limitations exposed this spring. |

Didn't stay well beaten in the Queen Alexandra Stakes at Ascot latest; suited by 14f, barely gets 2m, acts on heavy and good; Listed/Group 3 quality middle-distance/stayer, drop in trip a plus. |

Below 2025 form again when fourth in Tattersalls Gold Cup (Group 1) here latest; off a short-break; stays 12f, all form on good ground, action suggests a little give would suit best; big, attractive colt, out of form this term so far. |
