Formscan - Aidan O'Brien hasn't won this since 2022 and will be hopeful that ante-post favourite Sergei Diaghilev can bring that relatively barren run to an end. He had a couple of subsequent winners in behind at the Curragh on debut and is respected, but the vote goes to SALE SHARK. Hugo Palmer's colt made quite the impression when winning at Hamilton and may well be the type to make waves this season as a half-brother to the precocious New Providence. Controlla probably sets the form standard after going down by a neck in a Group 3 on her introduction, although any number of these could progress significantly, including Boleto, who won despite doing plenty wrong at Pontefract. Others to note include Celeron and One Number.
