Formscan - Aidan O'Brien has landed five of the last 10 renewals of this contest, most recently with Santiago in 2020. Therefore, it could be worth siding with his sole representative, PEKING OPERA, who secured a staying-on success in Listed company over 1m5f last month and has scope for further progress after only three starts. Gregory remains unbeaten following a comfortable victory over 1m3f at Goodwood last month and a longer trip looks worth exploring for him given his dam won a Group 2 over an extended 1m6f during her career. St Vincents Garden is another with claims, especially as William Buick has opted to ride the son of Camelot over the Godolphin-owned Chesspiece, but he was beaten two and a quarter lengths by the selection on his penultimate run.
