Despite the presence of 2000 Guineas winner Roderic O'Connor and Epsom Derby sixth Recital, it's impossible to contemplate defeat here for stablemate SO YOU THINK. He made amends for his defeat by the ill-fated Rewilding in the Prince Of Wales's Stakes at Ascot when outpacing Workforce in the Coral-Eclipse at Sandown and should again beat fourth Snow Fairy, who is a high-class filly but undoubtedly better over 1m4f. Famous Name is a smart performer on his day and beat Dunboyne Express over a slightly shorter trip here in July but he was no match for the selection at the Curragh in May and it's hard to see him reversing that form today.
