Formscan - The Platinum Queen won last year's edition of this race as a two-year-old, with MOSS TUCKER (3) further back in 5th after a tardy start. He has nothing to prove at this level having won a Group I at the Curragh recently, and a repeat of that performance should again see him fight for victory. COEUR DE PIERRE (4), winner of the Prix du Petit Couvert over this course and distance, is likely to be in the thick of that fight if confirming the improvement of his last start. HIGHFIELD PRINCESS (19) is a high-class performer with an impressive record, including a French Group I success, and is likely to have a say in the finish on the strength of her Group II Goodwood success and Group I Nunthorpe second last month. PONNTOS (9) and GET AHEAD (16), both 2nd last time out, as well as in-form ROGUE LIGHTNING (13), ought to make their presence felt too. WHITE LAVENDER (17), runner-up in the 2022 edition, and DRAMATISED (15) complete the shortlist.
