A fascinating renewal of the oldest Classic in the British calendar. Top Irish trainer Aidan O'Brien has three of the seven including the consistent ILLINOIS (3) who showed a liking for this trip landing the G2 Queen's Vase at Royal Ascot before a pair of runner-up efforts among G1 company at Longchamp (France) and a neck defeat in the 1m4f G2 Great Voltigeur Stakes at York. Top chance. JAN BRUEGHEL (4) remains unbeaten following a pair of G3 wins including at Goodwood over 1m4f. Big chance. The G1 classic winner YOU GOT TO ME (7) scored by 0.75L attempting the G1 Irish Oaks at the Curragh (Ireland) prior to a 0.75L second in the 1m4f G1 Yorkshire Oaks at York. Holds every chance. SUNWAY (5) brings G2 placed form. Makes for appeal. GROSVENOR SQUARE (2) previously won over this distance and cannot be discounted.
