Verdict

Another trappy renewal of a race that has proved a graveyard for favourites. CONVERGENT boasted a positive profile prior to Epsom and, with that run easily forgiven, he looks worth siding with to get back on track, his John Porter success representing the best recent form on offer. The ultra-reliable Rebel’s Romance carries a 3 lb penalty but still looks the most likely to benefit should the selection fail to run to his best, while Tenability may still have more to offer.

    Top-level middle-distance performer with 21 wins from 31 starts, including 2 Breeders’ Cup Turf triumphs. Proved his ability remains intact when landing the odds in a Group 2 at Meydan in February. A previous C&D winner, he goes well fresh and is tactically versatile. Sure to make a bold bid.

    Verdict
    Likeable type that conceded weight to some smart rivals when successful in the Group 3 John Porter on return, despite meeting plenty of trouble. Unsuited by conditions when well beaten in Coronation Cup last time and very much the type to bounce back down in grade. Solid claims.

    Verdict
    Developed into a smart colt last year, bagging listed races at Newmarket and Ayr. Best effort since when 3¼ lengths third of 6 to Ombudsman in Brigadier Gerard Stakes in May, though evidence mounting that he's at his very best on softer going.

    Verdict
    Most progressive last season, landing a 4-timer in a warm handicap at Ascot, and has stepped up again this year, finishing length third of 6 to Convergent in John Porter at Newbury on return before winning listed Tapster Stakes at Goodwood last month by a neck from Hamish. Not yet fully exposed.

    Verdict
    Highly tried last season, including when third in this race, and appreciated the drop in grade when winning listed contest at Windsor final start. Below best at Goodwood on return, though, and he has plenty to find in this company.
