The John and Thady Gosden team have won four of the last six renewals of this contest and MILITARY ACADEMY (5) could provide them with another. He looked good winning the Listed Floodlit Stakes tackling a similar trip at Kempton in November. More to offer with first-time cheekpieces fitted after being gelded. ROYAL CHAMPION (3) holds G1 form and maintains solid claims after beating a subsequent winner in the 1m2f Listed Quebec Stakes at Lingfield AW during December. The talented PERSICA (6) commands respect down in class on his first outing since finishing eighth in the G1 Champion Stakes at Ascot last October. CHAMPAGNE PRINCE (4) may get involved.
