Highfield Princess hasn't quite managed to replicate last season's brilliant form which included a victory in this. She bounced back to winning ways in the Group 2 King George Stakes at Goodwood but was then surprisingly beaten in the Nunthorpe where she had BRADSELL just behind. The latter was having his first start since beating John Quinn's mare in the King's Stand Stakes and can improve enough to reverse places and take this. Art Power absolutely loves the place having been here four times and won them all though he generally just fails at Group 1 level and may have to settle for a place. French raider Bouttemont is a smart sprinter but will be making his debut at the highest level.
