Going - Good, good to yielding in places. Overcast

Formscan By John O'Riordan - In a race where he doesn't have to carry any penalties, dual Group 1 winner AL RIFFA stands out. Runner-up in the Hardwicke Stakes at Royal Ascot last month, the Joseph O'Brien-trained five-year-old can gain his first success of the campaign. Although he is stepping up to this distance for the first time, on breeding the son of Wootton Bassett should have no issues with the extra yardage. A proven stayer, the Dermot Weld-trained Harbour Wind has run well under big weights in handicaps of late and reverting to black-type races should suit. With Ryan Moore in the saddle, Shackleton looks the pick of the three Ballydoyle contenders.
