In depth

Verdict

Ascot Gold Cup hero KYPRIOS is the one to beat in this. Aidan O’Brien’s colt dropped down in trip to land the Irish St Leger at the Curragh last time, with the 2020 winner Princess Zoe well beaten, and is difficult to oppose. Lismore also arrives from Ireland having finished a creditable runner-up in the Doncaster Cup but Quickthorn looks a bigger threat having completed a hat-trick with an all-the-way victory in the Lonsdale Cup at York with Tashkhan back in fourth. Goya Senora narrowly beat Joie De Soir with Skazino third when scoring at Deauville.
