Aidan O'Brien has won the last three of these and has a trio of entries. TAJ MAHAL, a brother to Gleneagles and Marvellous, was obviously expected to win first time out here last month as he started odds-on but never got going before staying on late. He'll have come on a bundle for the experience and can gain compensation. Stable companions Capri and Lancaster Bomber have superb pedigrees, especially the latter, who is a half-brother to triple Group 1 winner Excelebration. Joseph O'Brien's Arcada finished in front of the selection here though had the benefit of a previous run while the most interesting of the newcomers is the Frankel colt Lightening Fast, who is out of the Cheveley Park winner Lightening Pearl.
