Local trainer David O'Meara holds a strong hand in this Group 3 contest with race regular So Beloved representing a fair each-way angle, and the razor sharp (at present) Suedois expected to be firmly on the premises. That said; the standout form horse is EXPERT EYE. He put his 2000 Guineas flop behind him in no uncertain terms when putting 20 other rivals to the sword in the Jersey Stakes at Royal Ascot in June, and backed that up with a solid second in the Sussex Stakes at Glorious Goodwood. A return to 7f should suit, and he'll be tough to beat in this lower level of race.
