REGAL PARADE has plenty going for him. He's the highest rated horse in the field, found only Delegator too good at York earlier this month and last year's Deauville Group 1 winner looks up to taking this. Hungerford Stakes winner Shakespearean has been way below par on his last two starts and it's hard to know what to expect from him, but High Standing looks a genuine threat though he has plenty to find with the selection on their form at Deauville. Beacon Lodge was back to his best when landing a Listed race here last time, while The Cheka is in fine fettle and he could make the frame once again.
