John Gosden has sent out the last two winners of this and the newcomer ALPHA KING (NAP) may prove good enough. The latter is a full-brother to winning stablemate Tsar and a half-brother to a Group 3 winner. William Haggas runs two with Danny Tudhope back on Titian having ridden Fleur De Guy last time and the latter is fitted with blinkers today. Tara Iti is another in first-time headgear while The Rosstafarian debuts for an in-form yard.
