Big Gossey
All eight of his turf wins have come at this venue and as good as ever when landing a Listed race here in March; however, not as good twice since and Group 2 level is probably a bit hot for him these days.

Grand Grey
Went close in a Group 3 at Longchamp last season before a no-show in the Abbaye but ran a huge race on yard debut when beaten half a length by a well-backed French rival in the Group 3 Abernant Stakes at Newmarket; should be a major player if he comes on for that, although wouldn't want to get too far behind at this venue.

Iberian
Ran around before getting a bump in the Cammidge Trophy at Doncaster, finishing runner-up and confirming he was back to his best; probably needs another step forward to prevail here and may want conditions a bit softer than what is likely.

James's Delight
Listed winner at Deauville last summer and was only narrowly denied in a Group 3 back there in August; hasn't hit those heights in two runs this term and looks up against it.

Lethal Levi
Last season's Ayr Gold Cup winner but was behind Grand Grey on return at Newmarket; only beaten roughly 1l in subsequent Heritage Handicap but this demands a career-best.

My Mate Alfie
Three-time C&D winner including Group 3 in September and seems to appreciate a strong pace to follow; only beaten half a length at Listed level on return and big player back here if he comes on for that.

Storm Boy
Bids to follow in the footsteps of Starspangledbanner having won Group races down under before a switch to Ballydoyle; this is a stepping stone for Group 1 engagements at Royal Ascot but Australian sprint form is a cut above European in recent years and he's likely to be hard to beat if fully tuned up.

Easy
Listed winner on heavy ground on last season's return before lesser run in France; probably best watched returning from 338 days off.

Vespertilio
Group 2 winner here as a juvenile but didn't really kick on last season and needs to improve on this season's efforts to have a say.
