There is a wide range of abilities on show in this. Euchen Glen has won twice this season and has looked as good as ever but has something to find with JUAN ELCANO on the form book. Kevin Ryan’s gelding won in this grade in the Wolfreton Stakes at Royal Ascot in June and was then second in a Group 2 at York before finding the company too hot in the Juddmonte International. Palavecino looks held while Maydanny has never won outside of handicap company and Juan De Montalban, Platinumcard and The Flying Ginger don’t look up to this.
