Clearly has a lot of untap ped potential and can playa leading role.

AMUSINGLY Runner-up in Group 2 Prix d’Aumale at ParisLongchamp over 1600m on 6 September.

HM ALCHAHINE (FR) Runner-up to the excellent Al Ghadeer in 2025. Has nothing to prove under these conditions, will have been specifically-honed for this, and will be well-backed to impose.

LIPPO DE CARRERE (FR) Exacted revenge on LACARO DU CROATE (12) at the end of July at Goodwood, although was unable to trouble RB KINGMAKER (4). Place chance all the same. HAJMAH (FR) Recent fourth to RB KINGMAKER (4) at Goodwood. Could have finished closer but was somewhat out of sorts that day and must not be underestimated.

MAL TESE CROSS (FR) Classy 3-year-old that would have won the Group 1 Grand Prix de Paris by considerably more had he been afforded a run, but was imperious in the Group 2 Great Voltigeur Stakes at York and has the quality to win a race of this calibre. KALP ANA Put in quite the performance to win the Group 1 Yorkshire Oaks at York over 2400m on 20 August, just under a month after winning the King George at Ascot. Benefits from a decent draw and should improve considerably on last year’s performance. BENVENUTO CELLINI (IRE) Irish Derby winner that ran third to KALPANA (9) in the King George. Should not be too harshly-judged for coming fifth to VARANDIR (11) in Group 2 Prix Niel and will be no push over drawn on rail.
