Kingsgate Native in 2007 was the last two-year-old to win this and Acapulco attempts the same feat. The US-trained filly looked exceptional when winning the Queen Mary at Ascot in June and gets a massive weight concession but also looks short enough in the betting, especially if there is cut in the ground. Sole Power is back for more having beaten Stepper Point in last year's renewal to win this for the second time though was behind GOLDREAM in the Group 1 King's Stand at Ascot in June. Robert Cowell's progressive sprinter has had just the three starts this year and there should be even more to come from him. Medicean Man was beaten only a short-head in the King's Stand with Muthmir finishing third. The latter has subsequently won the Group 2 King George at Goodwood beating several of these in the process, including the placed horses Take Cover and Move In Time, but Mecca's Angel has plenty of scope as she looks to reverse latest running at the Curragh with Stepper Point.
