The retirement of Kyprios has left the door open for a new champion and it could be his stablemate ILLINOIS (8) trained by Aidan O'Brien. Landed the G2 Queen’s Vase Stakes at this meeting before finishing runner-up in the G1 St Leger Stakes last year and could be set for this following a reappearance success in the G3 Ormonde Stakes at Chester. TRAWLERMAN (4) followed home the winner of this twelve months back and is an obvious leading player securing a prep-run victory in the G3 Henry II Stakes at Sandown. French raider CANDELARI (7) remains lightly raced as a stayer and cannot be left out of the equation after his smooth win in the 1m7f G1 Prix Vicomtesse Vigier at Longchamp. Set Weights EET WILLIAM (3) completes the shortlist.
