COLTRANE has a slight class edge over these and having won this the last 2 seasons, he's sure to be well prepared for this reappearance. He can bring up the hat-trick, possibly at the chief expense of Divine Comedy, who is getting better with age.

VerdictLanded this race for second successive season a year ago. Came up short in better company after but signed off for the campaign with 2¼ lengths third of 5 to Kyprios in Prix du Cadran at Longchamp. Very much the one to beat in his quest for the hat-trick. - 4. Divine ComedyJ: Ryan MooreT: Harry EustaceF: 3/312580-2

VerdictVery progressive handicapper in the past 2 seasons, winning 4 times. Cracking short-head second of 4 to Al Qareem in listed race at Nottingham (14f, good) 21 days ago, staying on well, and return to 2m very much in her favour. - 3. Feigning MadnessJ: Hector CrouchT: Ralph BeckettF: 11/54-4

VerdictTwo from 2 as a juvenile. Seen only twice as a 3-y-o, not appearing at home on the track at Epsom and slowly-run race no use to him after 6 months off when fourth in Group 3 in October. Fared about as well as could be expected when fourth in the John Porter on return. Looks ready for this trip.

VerdictGot within 2¾ lengths of Kyprios when third in Saval Beg at Leopardstown in May (won 2023 renewal) but returned to big-field handicaps, he underperformed twice during the summer. Visored and steady gallop looked against him when last seen in September. First run for new yard and tongue tie on.- Unnamed Favourite
