FormscanBy John O'Riordan - Not short of pace, Commonwealth Cup runner-up ARIZONA BLAZE can cope with the drop in trip. Although the Adrian Murray-trained colt boasts just the solitary success over the minimum distance, he made most when easily landing a Group 3 at Chantilly over just half a furlong further in April. Always leading his own group when touched off at Royal Ascot, the three-year-old has the speed to be very competitive. The hat-trick seeking Mgheera holds strong claims. Unbeaten in both starts since joining Ed Walker, the mare was withdrawn at the start of the King Charles III Stakes and now has the services of Ryan Moore. Fellow British raider Rumstar also looks to have a decent chance.
