Ryan Moore may need to work some magic from stall fourteen with the straightforward Aidan O'Brien trained colt DELACROIX (3) having undergone the perfect prep following wins in the G3 Ballysax Stakes and G3 Derrinstown Stud Derby Trial. Can progress up to 1m4f for the first time and is considered. Impressive G1 2000 Guineas (1m) winner RULING COURT (13) receives a nice draw in stall seven and will surely play a major role if seeing out the 1m4f trip. PRIDE OF ARRAS (11) quickened smartly to make it two from two in the 1m2 1/2f G2 Dante Stakes at York last month and cannot be ignored. THE LION IN WINTER (17) needs to bounce back from a poor display when sixth in the G2 Dante Stakes. Hard to rule out racing for top connections. Stablemate LAMBOURN (5) rounds out the shortlist.
