A return to track and trip should suit AL RIFFA (1). Won the G1 Irish St Leger over identical conditions last September. Good form shown recently when a 0. 5L third in G1 Prix Vicomtesse Vigier over 1m7 1/2f at Longchamp. Then fourth in Gold Cup at Ascot. Leading player. ILLINOIS (5) produced consecutive G1 seconds last season. Bounced back to form with success in 2m5 1/2f Queen Alexandra Stakes. One to consider after that win. TRUSTYOURINSTINCT (7) is a bright prospect at this distance. Brings good form after a 0. 75L second in 1m2f G3 International Stakes. Al Riffa's G2-winning stablemate TENNESSEE STUD (6) is best of the rest.
