PreviewsIn a wide-open contest, marginal preference is for SMART CHAMPION, whose most recent outing in the Northumberland Plate can be forgiven as that race favoured those who were close to the pace. Prior to that, the five-year-old was a fast-finishing fourth to Coeur de Lion in the Ascot Stakes and he could turn that form around on better terms. Summer Moon and Rochester House are closely matched with the selection based on their running at the Royal meeting and it would be no surprise to see both go well. Others to note are Blue Laureate, The Grand Visir and True Destiny.
