Godolphin won this in 2022 and 2023, and the Roger Varian-trained Rock Montreal gives them another big shout. This well-bred son of Blue Point may have had a relatively straightforward task on debut at Yarmouth but got the job done in style. Ascot Listed winner Alfred Wallace sets the standard on form but could be vulnerable to an improver such as the unbeaten Breacher or Mia Fantasia, who made up for an unlucky defeat at Glorious Goodwood by surging clear at York. Top of the list is the Crisfords' SONIC ANGEL, so impressive in running away with a Kempton novice ten days ago. If he's just as effective on turf, he may well complete a hat-trick.[Richard O'Brien]
