Aidan O'Brien has a typically strong hand in this race and VAN BEETHOVEN ran with great credit at Royal Ascot last time when drawn on the wrong side. With stable jockey Ryan Moore on board, he's narrowly preferred to stablemate Land Force who ran well at the Royal Meeting himself when third in Group company. Of the remainder, Invincible Karma looks progressive and was only narrowly denied over course and distance last time.
