Previous results

In depth

Verdict

King Of Athens has twice finished behind stable companion Arizona, the latest in the Coventry Stakes, so he should find this less daunting. Gold Souk attempted to make all over this trip at Newmarket but had no answer when passed by Al Dabaran while Great Ambassador has been a beaten favourite in both starts though not beaten far. SMUGGLER looked a bit unlucky when just failing to get up over 6f here in June and though more will be needed in this company his pedigree suggests he'll be much better suited by today's trip and further. Berkshire Rocco missed the break and ran green at Ascot and normal progress will see him in contention.
