It looks to be an up-to-scratch renewal of this contest and plenty stake claims on paper. Degraves is the only Group-race winner in the field and looks the obvious pick of the Joseph O'Brien-trained trio but has a hefty absence to defy. Preference is for his stablemate GALILEO CHROME, who missed an engagement in the Ballysax Stakes at the weekend to take this up. His maiden-winning form has produced a Derby winner and a Group 3-second, so he obviously has some talent and looked as if this trip would be his optimum. Other place claims can be made for the duo of Delphi and Numen - who won with something to spare at this venue last time - while Zenya may be on the upgrade but is inexperienced.
