VERDICT: Aidan O'Brien has landed this race on 12 occasions and his three runners are respected on their seasonal reappearances. His Unquestionable looks a leading contender after successfully stepping up to 1m in a Grade 1 at the Breeders' Cup in Santa Anita. Richard Hannon's Rosallion sets the standard with a rating of 118 and a runner-up berth in the Qipco 2,000 Guineas at Newmarket. He is by a sprinter, though, and this more galloping track may not be as ideal for him. O'Brien's River Tiber is interesting as he bids to graduate from the sprinting ranks, while Andrew Oliver's Bright Stripes is one that could go better than his odds suggest.
