Sir Michael Stoute's recent record in this race is quite remarkable and he saddles Mirage Dancer for this renewal. The five-year-old was improving all the time in 2018 and returned with an encouraging win at Goodwood last time out. However, 2018's Derby winner MASAR must be hard to beat if he's anywhere close to that level of form. While he has an absence of over a year to overcome, trainer Charlie Appleby is a master at getting his horses ready off a break. Defoe will be suited by the stiff nature of the finish here and he's got each-way claims after his success at Epsom last time in Group 1 company.
