This ground looks ideal for Ed Walker's star and he should have too much for Stanhope Gardens, who drops in trip having shown up well when fifth in the Derby. Runner-up in a Group 2 at Saint Cloud last month, Bay City Roller may also have a say. The Classic generation are well-represented with three up and coming high class prospects, the pick of which may be Irish raider Green Impact, who ran well in the Irish Derby upped from 1m1f prior and won a Group 2 as a juvenile last term. However, a couple from the older generations appeal more, in the shape of Almaqam and ROYAL CHAMPION. Almaqam landed the G3 Brigadier Gerard Stakes last time and a repeat of that could be enough to land the top honours here but given the cramped odds might be worth taking on with Karl Burke's gelding. Royal Champion was beaten just over a length in this race in 2023 and has, if anything, improved a little since. He can be forgiven a slightly below par effort on fast ground last time, which he didn't enjoy, and now with some juice in the ground can give his best and has every chance of going closer this time Almaqam Stanhope Gardens Royal Champion Almaqam Green Impact 68 6 -20.7 Almaqam null b c Lope De Vega Talmada Cape Cross 4 60.78 117 null K Shoemark null E Walker Well backed when winning Brigadier Gerard Stakes (Group 3) at Sandown by 2l last time; off a short-break; conditions suit; high class performer with scope for more, major player null 124 5 2 -25.82 null null null 380
