SECOND STEP has a German Group 1 on his CV already and has run two fine races lately in better class than this. Coming here on the back of an excellent runner-up finish at Glorious Goodwood, he looks to be the ace in the pack on form. Across The Stars, a winner at Royal Ascot last summer cannot be ruled out if able to produce his best, with Sir Michael Stoute's string in top form, while Agent Murphy's old form would also make him interesting. Previous C&D King Bolete beat a subsequent Listed winner to score here last month and is one with potential to improve and have a big say.
