A fascinating renewal of this Group One contest. After he was snapped up by new connections after his win in the Molecomb Stakes last week, it seems notable that STEEL BULL has been supplemented for this. He looked right out of the top drawer at Goodwood and the step up to 6f may see him in an even better light. The Lir Jet looks the main danger after his short-head defeat to Ventura Tormenta last time out but he should reverse the form given that rival is unlikely to get his own way in front. Meanwhile, both Laws Of Indices & Aloha Star are both afforded major respect after causing major shocks to win group two races over C&D when last seen.
