Formscan - From the likes of Shergar to Galileo and Sea The Stars, all the way to City Of Troy, who was breathtaking in this 12 months ago, it takes a real superstar to land the jewel in the crown of the Flat season. Aidan O'Brien's typically strong contingent appears to be headed by Delacroix, whose dam Tepin has already produced a stout stayer in the form of stablemate Grateful - a winner of the Prix de Royallieu at Longchamp last season. The Lion In Winter had been long touted for this contest but his no-show in the Dante behind Pride Of Arras (winner) and Damysus (second), along with stall 19, tempers enthusiasm. That pair remain of considerable interest, though 2000 Guineas winner RULING COURT is taken to rubber-stamp his credentials as the leading three-year-old. The Justify colt enters unknown territory regarding stamina, but both trainer and jockey have been extremely bullish in the build up and the pair have seldom been wrong in the past. It would be fitting were Midak, who carries the colours of the late Aga Khan, to feature, and the unbeaten Footstepsinthesand colt should not be taken lightly.
