Just the five runners but a tricky race to call. Almeric was most progressive last term, winning back-to-back Listed events before finding the Champion Stakes all too much, and he comes out best at the weights here. Whether there'll be enough cut in the ground for him, though, remains to be seen, so it might be worth siding with race-fit DEVIL'S ADVOCATE instead. He's not open to the same improvement as most in here, but returned with a fine second on the AW at Kempton, finding only a classy sort too good, and he could dictate the tempo of this. King Of Cities is a tempting alternative on his debut for Karl Burke - he's got loads of classy form to his name and could progress again at four, while Saddadd is a lightly raced potential improver also for a top yard. |

Ground not soft enough and possibly outclassed when down the field in Champion Stakes (Group 1) at Ascot most recent; in excellent form prior; effective at 8f, suited by 10f, best form with give; obvious chance on this return although wouldn't want ground to dry too much. |

Yard has won 2 of last 5 runnings of race; run of race, ran to form when second beaten 3 1/4l in Magnolia Stakes (Listed) at Kempton latest; suited by 10f, acts on good to soft, good to firm and AW; smart sort might get run of things here. |

Ran to form on ground that was deep enough beaten 6l in Prix Dollar (Group 2) at Longchamp last time; in good form prior; ideally suited by 8-10f, acts on soft and good; capable of better for new yard this season, good chance. |
