Aidan O'Brien has won this race numerous times in recent years, most notably with City of Troy in 2023, and that trend looks set to continue in the shape of GIANT SEQUOIA, who shaped encouragingly amid greenness when third in a C&D maiden earlier in the month and seems sure to take a big step forward. Heading up the dangers is stablemate Shakespeare, who fetched an eye-watering 1.3 million gns as a yearling, while Bull Shark sets a fairly useful standard.
