It's tough to look beyond YIBIR, who was unable get competitive in the Gold Cup at Royal Ascot just over a fortnight ago but back in much calmer waters, Charlie Appleby's 5-y-o should prove tough to beat. Ocean Wind has a lengthy absence to overcome, but he put up a few smart performances in defeat back in 2021 and he could give the selection most to think about sporting first-time headgear. Aaddeey and Sleeping Lion can do battle for third spot.
