Formscan By Mark Nunan - SUN GODDESS (7) can give Aidan O’Brien win number 18 in this Group 1. The Sioux Nation filly was second in the 25-runner Albany Stakes at Royal Ascot and went one better in a Group 2 over course and distance on Derby weekend. She seems a a very professional juvenile and is well suited by fast ground. Celeron left behind a disappointing run in the Windsor Castle, where he finished well behind King Of Cloughan, when proving three lengths too good for Tribeca in the Group 2 Railway Stakes here last month. King Of Cloughan has since finished second of three in the Prix Morny and may be better suited to this trip than Tyros runner-up Folsom Blues. %0A
