A quality staying event in which Sweet William sets the standard, but last year's Derby runner-up LAZY GRIFF has significant potential as a stayer and is taken to cause a minor upset. The selection, who found only Lambourn too good at Epsom - he finished close behind that rival in his two other runs last term at Chester and in the Irish Derby - is by Protectionist who won a Melbourne Cup and he could make it at the top level now faced with an increased stamina test. It's worth chancing his fitness back from 333 days off. Sweet William is the standout danger given his fine record. Winner of this in 2024, he's built up a classy and highly consistent profile and is nowhere near as quirky as he used to be. He is giving 6lb to the selection, though, which could make things tougher. Furthur could emerge as the best of the rest returning to 2m but on better ground this time - the going went against him in the Melbourne Cup. Epic Poet is solid enough but vulnerable for win purposes. |

Yard has won last two runnings of race; ran to best on seasonal debut when winning Sagaro Stakes (Group 3) at Ascot by a short-head last time; effective 1m6f-2m2f, acts on any; formerly a bit quirky but no signs of that reappearance, won this in 2024 and leading chance here. |
