EMINENT brings the best form into this after an impressive third in the Irish Champion Stakes last year and provided he's ready to go on return, he will be hard to beat despite facing a talented field. Convey ought to come on for his recent promising run in the Winter Derby while War Decree is respected for last year's winning connections.
