Kerless Del Roc set a blistering pace in this a year ago and had them all struggling apart from FIRST CLASSS, who took over in the straight and just held the renewed effort of the front-runner. The winner has since won another Group 1 and can go in again. Rb Rich Lyke Me was badly impeded a year ago and beaten a long way but he's also landed a recent Group 1 so should do much better. Hayyan easily won a round of this in February so is another to consider.
