This looks wide open with the three UK challengers closely matched. Mise En Scene beat Hello You when winning the Prestige Stakes at Goodwood and the latter beat Cachet when subsequently landing the Rockfel at Newmarket. Ryan Moore partners the French raider and Group 2 winner Malavath, who steps up in trip along with Koala Princess and Bubble Rock. The latter’s stablemate Turnerloose finished behind California Angel in a Grade 2 at Keeneland while Pizza Bianca finished runner-up in a Grade 1 at Woodbine. Consumer Spending has her ground while stable companion HAUGHTY produced an impressive late surge to win a maiden at Keeneland. The latter faces a much stiffer test today but trainer Chad Brown knows what’s needed having won this contest five times in the past and his yard is in flying form.
