Group One Victories: 3
Top class four-year-old unbeaten this season. Came a close third in this last year but this renewal looks weaker. One of only two horses in the field to have won over this distance. Likely winner.
Trainer: A P O’Brien

Group One Victories: 1
Will look to be first three-year-old winner of race since 2009. Has improved as season has gone on and won Irish St Leger last time out. Player if taking to ground.

Former Hurdler with decent form on the flat. Performance to win Doncaster Cup puts horse in the frame but the drop back in trip may not suit.

Group One Victories: 2
Ran solid fun in the Arc to finish fifth. Stepping up in distance after season that has consisted of only three runs. 2017 St Leger winner who has repeated three-year-old form. Also entered in Champions Stakes.

Group One Victories: 2
Won this year’s St Leger and ran admirably in the Arc. Will still need to be improving and suited to the distance to win. Highest rated horse in race.

Least exposed horse in race. Won Listed race on heavy ground last time out in taking fashion. Plenty more to find but if the principals struggle in the deep ground the horse could be dangerous.
Trainer: Ralph Beckett
Jockey: Harry Bentley (16/1).

Career best effort to win Listed race back in April. Did not figure in either outing at Group level and off since June. Unlikely.

Figured in six Group races this season being placed only once. That was when Three length second to Stradivarius in Yorkshire Cup. Did beat Thomas Hobson at Group level last season.

Made rapid progression to win Group 3 in Ireland last time out. Form prior to that poor and unlikely to figure.
