There was a lot to like about the manner of English King's win in the Lingfield Derby Trial and he may have been the selection here if it wasn't for a tricky draw in stall one. However, given that he's been ante post favourite and unlikely to represent much value, a chance is taken on RUSSIAN EMPEROR who was impressive at Royal Ascot last time out, shaping like he would appreciate this step up in trip. Aidan O'Brien's first-string Mogul should come on for his latest start and he's another to consider while Max Vega might represent a bit of each-way value; his trainer has enjoyed Classic success here in the Oaks twice before.
