Bach (IRE) Would need it a lot softer to figure here.
Bocelli (NZ) Shaped well over 7f on British debut; tough task here.
Summoner Confirmed pacemaker for Noverre.
Proudwings (GER) Winner of the Falmouth Stakes; could take advantage of any chinks in Noverre's armour.
Hawkeye (IRE) Seems better suited by a bit of cut in the ground; watch the market.
Noverre (USA) Clear on official figures and expected to be too good today.
Tamburlaine (IRE) Doesn't stay a mile.
Vahorimix (FR) Has to be respected but would have more chance if the ground was softer.
Valentino Would need to find something on all known form.
No Excuse Needed Winner of a Goodwood Group 2 but a suspicion that that was a weak race.
Olden Times No reason to suggest he can turn the tables on Noverre at these weights.
