This is dominated by the Aidan O'Brien stable. JAN BRUEGHEL (5) is the one to beat. He brings the best form from his G1 Coronation Cup victory at Epsom over 1m4f almost a year ago. The track is an unknown but the 1m5 1/2f distance is ideal. ILLINOIS (4) won 12 months ago and is a strong contender again. More is needed to defeat an out-and-out G1 performer. RAHIEBB (7) is interesting on his comeback. He shaped well when a neck second in the 1m6 1/2f G1 St Leger at Doncaster 236 days ago. AL QAREEM (2) has the benefit of a recent win. He was a 1. 25L second in this 12 months ago. A recent 0. 5L success in a Listed race over 1m6f puts him in the frame.
