Aidan O'Brien and John Gosden have won the last six renewals of this race between them and it's hard to envisage this year's renewal going elsewhere. The two key pieces of form here are the 1,000 Guineas and the Ribblesdale and it's 1,000 winner LOVE who gets the vote with this step up in trip likely to see her improve. Ennistymon might be able to reverse form with Frankly Darling given that O'Brien's filly conceded first run.
