KEW GARDENS has been holding his form well throughout the quiet spell the yard have endured this summer but with Aidan O'Brien's string back in form, and stamina assured, he rates as the likeliest winner. Stablemate The Pentagon has given the impression on multiple occasions that he will be suited by further and he's expected to produce an improved effort here. Ante post Oaks favourite Lah Ti Dar got her season back on track with a demolition of her rivals in Listed class last time, maintaining her unbeaten record and she must be considered the main danger if she sees out this trip while Dee Ex Bee has been crying out for a proper stamina test such as this.
