Lockwood is back to his best judged on his victory in the Group 3 Supreme Stakes at Goodwood and will be a danger to all as he's proven on the ground. Aljamaaheer didn't find as much as expected in the Prix Jacques-Le-Marois at Deauville last time but his earlier form is rock-solid and includes placed efforts in Group 1 company and a victory in a Group 2 at Ascot. Roger Varian's colt has to go on the short-list while it will be interesting to see how the three-year-old filly Viztoria gets on against older horses after her sixth in the Coronation Stakes. GREGORIAN finished half-a-length behind Aljamaaheer in the Queen Anne Stakes at Ascot but can reverse that form here on an easier surface and over a shorter trip. John Gosden's charge gets the nod, though Sovereign Debt is no mug and could run a decent race at bigger odds. Sirius Prospect is suited by 7f nowadays but the York winner is likely to find a few of these too good.
