Better than ever this year, winning a Grade 2 at Belmont last time out. Clearly thriving but will need a lot more against these rivals
Just about a career best when landing a Group 2 at Leopardstown last time out and worth a crack at this level but likely to find some of these too good. Fast ground will suit.
Group 3 winner in 2017 and generally a consistent sort but that's at a much lower level to this and hard to see him playing a part in this event.
Group 3 winner when trained in Ireland and seemingly progressive since joining this yard, gaining a second C&D win last time out in Grade 2 company. Needs another step up to mix it with these but won a shade cosily last time out.
Top class American miler who wasn't seen to best effect last time out when making her challenge four-wide. Unlucky in defeat that day behind El Tormenta and every chance she can resume progress from a handy draw here.
Narrowly got the better of Got Stormy last time out having showed promise in Graded company earlier in the year. Less exposed than most and may have more to give at 1m.
Produced a big effort from the front to land the St James's Palace Stakes at Royal Ascot and gained another Group 1 at Longchamp last time out. This is a sharper test though and wide draw not ideal for one that likes to race prominently.
Hugely exciting three-year-old last term when winning the St James's Palace Stakes but struggled badly subsequently. Makes his first start for new yard and others preferred.
Multiple Grade 1 winner who won with plenty in hand at Keeneland last time out. More needed against the opposite sex here but she's prolific and well worth consideration; needs some luck in running.
Queen Anne winner at Royal Ascot but that wasn't the strongest event for the grade, and he's struggled subsequently. Probably at his best with more cut in the ground than he'll get here, and this mile could be on the sharp side.
Runner-up in the French Guineas last year but has looked below this level subsequently and wide draw not ideal for one that likes to dominate from the front.
Multiple C&D winner including a Grade 1 success and got his head back in front at Keeneland last time out in Grade 1 company (Suedois third). That's solid form, he ought to love the ground and versatile with regards tactics here.
Grade 1 winner in his pomp but has failed to show his best form for his new yard and he's readily opposed in a competitive heat here.

Forecasts
Got Stormy (10/3), Circus Maximus (10/3), Uni (9/2), Without Parole (7/1), Lucullan (11/1), Caribou Club (15/1), Space Traveller (16/1), Hey Gaman (16/1), True Valour (18/1), Lord Glitters (18/1), El Tormenta (20/1), Suedois (20/1), Bowies Hero (25/1), Trais Fluors (28/1), Bolo (30/1), Next Shares (80/1)
It might be worth chancing BOWIES HERO who arrives on the back of an impressive Grade 1 performance and has course and distance form to his name. Uni won with plenty in hand last time and warrants respect despite this being a tougher contest. Got Stormy has solid each-way claims having not been seen to best effect last time out.
