A small, but select field for this valuable prize. Asian Heights looks the one to beat. Lightly raced for a four-year-old, he is still open to plenty of improvement and he can prove too strong for Naheef, who bounced back to form at Windsor last time, having been outclassed in both the 2000 Guineas and the Derby. This is more his level and he looks sure to run well. It would be dangerous to underestimate the progressive Foreign Affairs and he should run well without being quite good enough to win, while the three-year-old Leadership is certainly going the right way and can make his presence felt.
