Formscan  - A fascinating clash between generations with Oaks runner-up WHIRL and last year's second here See The Fire both holding excellent credentials. The latter was a wildly impressive winner of the Middleton at York in May before producing a fine effort when third to Ombudsman in the Prince Of Wales's at Royal Ascot. That said, she comes up against an extremely tough rival, whose form in winning the Pretty Polly at the Curragh was franked by Kalpana's strong display in the King George on Saturday. Prix de Diane runner-up Bedtime Story heads the remainder.
