FormscanBy Gary Carson - ORDER OF AUSTRALIA sets the standard here and can repeat last year's victory in the Group 2 event. The 2020 Breeders Cup Mile winner has kept good company since and had some really good runs in top level company last season, when placed behind Palace Pier and Baaeed. He produced another solid effort when third in the Queen Anne Stakes on his return at Royal Ascot last month and should prove the class act at this level now. The three-year-old Dr Zempf could be a danger. This looks a good trip for the Dark Angel colt and he was a good winner of the Ballycorus Stakes at Leopardstown last month. There looks scope for further improvement from him. Pearls Galore is another that has to be respected having already struck twice this term at stakes level. She was Group 1 placed twice last season and narrowly lost out in the Matron Stakes.
