Race Tip

The Aidan O'Brien yard have won five out of the last six renewals of this feature race and DELACROIX (5) could add to that record. Won the 1m2f G1 Eclipse Stakes at Sandown (UK) before a 3.5L second reversing placings with Ombudsman in the 1m2f G1 International Stakes at York (UK). Proven at this track. Top pick. ANMAAT (1) won the 1m2f G1 Champion Stakes at Ascot (UK) last year on soft going. During June posted an excellent 2L second tackling the 1m2f G1 Prince Of Wales Stakes at Royal Ascot (UK). Big chance. Japanese runner SHIN EMPEROR (3) was a solid third in this event last year. Could go well again. ZAHRANN (8) found success in G3 level at the Curragh last month. Interesting. WHITE BIRCH (4) might feature.
