A good-looking renewal of this Group 3 based on Timeform pre-race ratings. Unbeaten No Nay Never Colt GREAT BARRIER REEF did well to land the Coventry Stakes at Royal Ascot and, while it’s a slight concern he’s not been seen since, he’s still taken to overcome a 5 lb penalty and provide Aidan O’Brien with a third successive win in the race. Livenka certainly impressed in landing the odds at Naas and is feared most.
