FIELD OF GOLD (3) won the G3 Craven Stakes over course and distance last month and can become the first horse to complete that double in 21 years. Described as only being 85% fit that day and should have more to give revisiting this venue. William Buick has elected to ride RULING COURT (5) over SHADOW OF LIGHT (8). The former holds strong claims after winning the G2 Jumeirah 2000 Guineas tackling this trip at Meydan and must be taken seriously while the latter was crowned the European champion two-year-old following G1 wins here in the 6f Middle Park Stakes and 7f Dewhurst Stakes and is in the mix if staying the 1m trip. EXPANDED (2) is the sole Aidan O'Brien representative and cannot be ignored after missing by a neck to the third nominated in the G1 Dewhurst Stakes. WIMBLEDON HAWKEYE (10) might find the frame.
