Limato⁴³

Age: 7| Weight: 9-6| J: James Doyle| T: H Candy| OR: 114| D

5/2

11-time Stakes winner including two Group Ones in 2016. Remains a high-class individual as shown by Group Three Criterium win two starts back. July Cup latest a tough ask but every chance here giving weight all round.

Form: 119-410

Anna Nerium³⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 9-3| J: Tom Marquand| T: R Hannon| OR: 107| CD

12/1

Winner of this race a year ago and strong finishing filly struck at Group Three level this term also when Epsom race was run ideally for her. Always capable in such circumstances but this is stronger than 2018 renewal.

Form: 6-82165

Breton Rock²⁶

Age: 9| Weight: 9-3| J: S Donohoe| T: D M Simcock| OR: 103| CD

50/1

Two years now since his win in the C&D Group Two Lennox Stakes and although still running with credit the veteran doesn't appeal here as a betting proposition.

Form: 88-3759

(5)

Fox Champion²¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: S M Levey| T: R Hannon| OR: 108| D

7/1

German 2000 Guineas win (Group Two) his fourth consecutive success. Found a trio of Group Ones over 1m, 7f and 6½f lately a little beyond him but third to Too Darn Hot in France reads well and has leading claims here.

Form: 111739

Larchmont Lad²⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 9-3| J: Charles Bishop| T: J Tuite| OR: 105| D

14/1

Three-time winner was a well held fourth behind Limato at Newmarket penultimately before handicap seventh at Ascot latest. Up against it here.

Form: 10-2747

Suedois^p²⁶

Age: 8| Weight: 9-3| J: D Tudhope| T: D O'Meara| OR: 112| D

5/1

Consistent sort third to Limato in Criterium and since third in Group Two Summer Mile at Ascot and Group Two Lennox here. Will as always be in the shake-up and looks a solid each way proposition.

Form: 442333

Di Fede²⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 9-0| J: Harry Bentley| T: R M Beckett| OR: 102| D

16/1

Likable sort but one from nine in Stakes company and that a Listed race last season. Second at that level at Pontefract latest but looks out of her depth here.

Form: 51-0532

(6)

Momkin^b²³

Age: 3| Weight: 8-12| J: Oisin Murphy| T: H & R Charlton| OR: 107| D

3/1

Winless in 2019 but only once struggled this season in the 2000 Guineas. Third in 1m Group Three here latest another solid effort and again he has sound enough each-way prospects.

Form: 2-20623

(10)

Angel's Hideaway^p1²³

Age: 3| Weight: 8-9| J: R Havlin| T: J & T Gosden| OR: 106

12/1

Hasn't won since Ascot Group 3 in 2018 but in fine form this season. Followed promising effort in the Nell Gwyn with a fourth in 1,000 Guineas and excellent run in the Jersey when third. Midfield effort here latest a disappointment but respected.

Form: 2-34439

(4)

Mot Juste²³

Age: 3| Weight: 8-9| J: David Egan| T: R Varian| OR: 102| D

16/1

Group 3 winner as a juvenile. Has gone backwards since a promising effort in the Nell Gwyn at Newmarket earlier in the year and midfield effort over C&D latest something akin to what is expected today.

Form: 11-2068

Forecasts

Limato (5/2), Momkin (3/1), Suedois (5/1), Fox Champion (7/1), Anna Nerium (12/1), Angel's Hideaway (12/1), Larchmont Lad (14/1), Di Fede (16/1), Mot Juste (16/1), Foxtrot Lady (20/1), Breton Rock (50/1)

Outside of Group One company LIMATO remains a very classy proposition and the previous C&D winner gets the vote to return to winning ways after finding the July Cup a little too hot last time out. Three-year-old Fox Champion hasn't quite cut the mustard in Group Ones lately but at this level the German Guineas winner is a threat to all. Also shortlisted is ultra-consistent Suedois who as usual will make a bold bid.
