Tommy Stack has won this twice in recent years but Darkash will need to find another gear if he's to emulate his predecessors. ALL THE KING'S MEN made an eye-catching debut over the track and trip three weeks ago, staying on steadily when the race was all over, and can make enough progress to see off some choicely-bred rivals including two from Ballydoyle. Mount Tabora, the mount of Ryan Moore, is a half-brother to five winners, including at Group 1 level, so he's in the 'could be anything' category along with superbly-bred stable companion U S S Michigan. Asdaa is by Dutch Art out of a winning miler while the filly Viadera is related to a couple of winners.
