Cicero's Gift (G)
Last year's third notched a second C&D victory in a listed race here before running out a surprise winner of the Group 1 Queen Elizabeth II Stakes on Champion Day at Ascot. However, he was seen to maximum effect on that occasion and looks …

Opera Ballo (C)
[H]
Made it a remarkable 6 wins from 8 starts (including a C&D success) when successful in the Group 1 Jebel Hatta at Meydan in January, though his defeats have come at the hands of Field Of Gold/Zeus Olympios, to whom he concedes weight today…

Zeus Olympios (C)
Night Of Thunder colt confirmed himself an exciting prospect when making it 4-4 in the Group 2 Joel at Newmarket last September, readily seeing off Opera Ballo by 2¼ lengths, and he could make a bold bid to extend his unbeaten record with …

Dancing Gemini (H)
Landed the second leg of a double in this race 12 months ago before going close in the Group 1 Lockinge and Jacques Le Marois, respectively. Ended his season with a couple of lesser efforts, though, and returns in a stronger renewal than l…

Field Of Gold (C)
FAV
High-class winner of the Irish 2000 Guineas/St James's Palace Stakes who wasn't seen to best effect in either the Sussex Stakes or QEII subsequently, and he's still very much the one to beat on the pick of his 3-y-o form.

Never So Brave (G)
Proved himself a different model for Andrew Balding last season and is better judged on the form of his success in the Group 1 City Of York (7f), than his showing in the QEII on Champions Day last October. He's in excellent hands and entit…
