PreviewsRoger Charlton's Headman undoubtedly has plenty of talent, having struck twice in Group 2 company in France last year, although he gives the impression that softer ground suits him best and he may not appreciate this drying surface. Similar sentiments apply to Addeybb, who enjoyed a fruitful spell in Australia under Tom Marquand during the spring but faces tougher opposition now back on home soil. Barney Roy has won Group 2 and Group 1 contests in Dubai this year but probably needs a career-best performance to take this, so the vote instead goes to Arc fourth JAPAN. A winner of the Juddmonte International at York before that, Aidan O'Brien's 122-rated performer has a class edge over this field and already has some solid course form in the book, having landed the King Edward VII easily at this meeting 12 months ago.
