Michael O'Callaghan steps Steel Bull up in trip for the first time after impressive victories at Naas and in the Grade 3 Molecombe at Goodwood. This looks a significant step-up in class but it will be a surprise if he's not there at the finish. Aidan O'Brien has a trio of entries. Admiral Nelson hasn't done as well as expected after landing a 5f maiden here but Giorgio Vasari is making good progress and reappears quickly after a comfortable victory at Naas on Sunday. St Mark's Basilica started favourite for his debut over the track and trip and though finding one too good really caught the eye with a powerful finish. Laws Of Indices was a 66/1 chance when beating Lucky Vega narrowly in the Group 2 Railway Stakes here and there should be little between the pair here. Aloha Star was also a shock winner when beating Frenetic in the Group 2 Airlie Stud Stakes here so can't be ruled out with her allowance. Ventura Tormenta battled back to mug THE LIR JET on the line in the Group 2 Prix Robert Papin at Chantilly but the runner-up, the Norfolk Stakes winner, is taken to reverse the form and complete a 1-2 for UK trainers.
