Formscan - Aidan O'Brien's Chantilly heads the early betting after his Newbury third and, as a son of Galileo, the step up in trip may bring some improvement. However, he may struggle to reverse placings with the runner-up from that contest, PONIROS, who also has plenty of scope for benefiting from an extra couple of furlongs and the draw has been kind to the son of Golden Horn. Naval Force is trained by Donnacha O'Brien and was value for further when losing lengths at every bend before staying on to score at Roscommon over shorter and he could go well at a big price if he keeps to the straight and narrow. Going The Distance and Persica are others to consider, though there is a chance they may now be in the grip of the handicapper.
