IRISHMAN has been improving with experience and having turned in his best performance to date over course and distance last time, he is fancied to get off the mark. Sebastian, who finished just behind the selection on that occasion, should give him most to think about, while Uncommon Valor might take third.

PROMENADE PRINCESS has been knocking on the door of late and now dropped into this slightly lower grade, is fancied to get back to winning ways. Dale Capuano's Solea is an interesting contender on her stable bow, while there is every chance we haven't seen the best of Sublimity yet.

Tea In China's placed effort in stakes company last October looks the pick of the form on offer but the five-year-old has been off the track since November, so IN VAIN gets the nod. There is every chance we haven't seen the summit of her ability yet and, with fitness on her side, she should take the beating. Blushable has an each-way chance.

Successful twice at 6f. Third of 6 behind Beren beaten 7l at 20-1 on his latest outing at Belmont Park over 6f earlier this month. Should be in the mix if stamina holds out.

The gelding operation could be the making of ARTISTIC REASON, who has already shown a fair level of form and should continue to improve with racing. He gets the vote ahead of Doubleoseven, who tries this trip for the first time, and the consistent Toy.
