Formscan - With three in the field, including Queen's Vase scorer Illinois, Aidan O'Brien is likely to make this a test of stamina that would suit Los Angeles. The Irish Derby winner has a 5lb penalty to carry, which will certainly make life tougher, and it may pay to side with KING'S GAMBIT. The improving Saxon Warrior colt was runner-up in a very strong renewal of the York Stakes here last month and has looked like a Group 1 performer in the making. It may be that the step up to 1m4f brings out the best in him.
