I’m sticking with His Majesty. Going back up to six furlongs should really suit him.

Commanche Falls brings the best level of form to this race, is a straightforward ride, and looks a safe enough option.

Jon Riggens caught my eye the last day and going back down to five furlongs will suit him well.

Auguste Rodin looked a superstar to me in the Epsom Derby and I see no reason why he won’t win here.

Howyoulikethat put up a good run last time out. Billy Lee is in the saddle today and makes each way appeal.

Yerwanthere could be the one here, having been very unlucky at Royal Ascot last time.

Tarawa is dropping in class after a great fourth in the Irish 1,000 Guineas and is the one to beat.

I’d prefer if Mr Escobar was going left handed, but hopefully Chris Hayes can prevent him hanging on this right-handed track and win.
