A fascinating race where Derby winner Christmas Day is neglected by Ryan Moore. He sets the standard but that did come on much softer ground so the form is tricky to asses and he was held on a quicker surface in the Dante previously. The stable jockey instead opts to ride BENVENUTO CELLINI who did run at Epsom but was declared a non runner having finished midfield following an issue at the stalls. Prior to that he had looked a potential superstar when winning the Chester Vase. That form took a boost at Royal Ascot and he should be much happier back on this quicker surface given his sole previous disappointment came on heavy as a 2yo. He is the selection but Epsom third James J Braddock is also feared with this track likely to play to his strengths. Raaheeb arrives unbeaten and looked potentially top class when winning a Group 3 on his return in the UK. However that form has had knocks and the quick ground combined with his absence is a concern. |

Yard won this last three runnings of race; didn't stay 12f made too much use of in testing conditions down the field in Derby (Group 1) at Epsom most recent; top course trainer; effective 8-10f, acts on heavy and good to firm; high-class, may yet stay 12f ridden more conservatively on better ground. |

Yard won this last three runnings of race; plenty to do but won going away when winning Chester Vase (Group 3) at Chester by 4 1/4l last time; declared a non runner due to issue at stalls at Epsom having finished midfield; top course jockey/trainer combination; off a short-break; stays 12f, acts on yielding and good; progressive, impressed at Chester and top-class prospect with quickening ground a big positive. |

Derby winner; yard won this last three runnings of race; travelled, quickened clear, improved and won on merit when winning Derby (Group 1) at Epsom by 3l last time; top course trainer; suited by 12f, acts on heavy and good; Derby form tricky to weigh-up but convincing winner, quicker ground may not be ideal here. |
