STRADIVARIUS has progressed since his third in this race last year and he's expected to maintain his unbeaten record for the season and get the better of Flag Of Honour who ran well when able to dominate in the Irish St Leger last time. Stablemate of the latter Sir Eric is an interesting contender on just his fifth start but would need to improve markedly to trouble either of the aforementioned runners.
