Forecasts

Benvenuto Cellini (7/4), Raaheeb (11/4), Christmas Day (4/1), James J Braddock (7/1), Pierre Bonnard (9/1), Action (22/1), Shaihaan (33/1), Bunyola Bay (50/1)

Verdict

Ryan Moore sticks with BENVENUTO CELLINI who is taken to bounce back from his flop in the mud at Epsom and provide Aidan O'Brien with a record-extending 18th success in this. Raaheeb created a really strong impression when quickening clear in the Classic Trial at Sandown and may provide a bigger threat than the selection's Derby-winning stablemate Christmas Day, who needs to prove he's as potent away from soft ground.

  1. BENVENUTO CELLINI (IRE)
  2. RAAHEEB (IRE)
  3. CHRISTMAS DAY (IRE)
