Formscan  - OMBUDSMAN left his comeback run well behind when running away with the Prince Of Wales's Stakes at Royal Ascot 17 days ago, making it five wins from six career outings to date. It's easy to see why Godolphin's improving four-year-old has been all the rage with the bookmakers in the build-up to today's contest and he's fancied to land the spoils. Any rainfall would boost the chances of Sosie, who arrives following a couple of Group 1 victories in his native France. Delacroix could fare best of Aidan O'Brien's duo, while Ruling Court is an interesting player stretching out in trip.

Quotes on Delacroix (IRE)

He was very green the first day and he’s still very green. Ryan said they were waiting in the stalls a long time and he had a hold of him but when he let him go he just went up,.

Quotes

Quotes on Hotazhell (GB)

That was nice, he's a nice colt,. He quickened up well, they went a good old gallop the whole way. He's tough and he'll probably just have one more run this year. He had to do it the hard way because he had to go and catch the pacemaker and then go away from him. Shane was thinking the other horse would come to him and take him along but it didn't and he had to go and commit. He'll go a mile, probably even this year. I don't think we'll go to the National Stakes, I'd say we'll wait for something over a mile in September. We've got two nice milers and we'll keep them well apart!
