FormscanBy Gary Carson - ROYAL RHYME has some very strong Group 1 form in the book. He only made the track twice last season and was a commendable fifth to Los Angeles in the Tattersalls Gold Cup here last May. The pick of his form is a third-placed effort in the Champion Stakes at Ascot in October 2024. He has an absence to overcome but should appreciate this ground. Green Impact is another interesting one on his return. He picked up an injury after finishing fourth in the York Stakes last July but is a talented sort and could play a big role in this. Group 1 winning two-year-old Twain is a fascinating runner but may be best watched after a long absence.
