Champion 2yo last term; won the Derby most recently; brilliant colt who is clear top rated

Strong-finishing second in the Poulains then non-staying sixth in the Derby; place claims

Lightly raced 4yo who is interesting on best form and this step back up to 1m2f is a plus

Ran well in Coronation Stakes; bred to be suited by this new trip; big run is plausible
