Verdict

SECRET STATE can emulate the yard's recent Gordon Stakes winner New London and take the step up from top handicap company to Group level in his stride. Deauville Legend has undoubtedly improved since being edged out by the selection at Royal Ascot but may still find Charlie Appleby's charge a bit too strong again. Aikhal is next best.
