PreviewsFox Champion wasn't beaten far in Group 1 company in the St James's Palace Stakes at this meeting last year and is interesting now moving into handicap company, while Willie John has always been held in high regard by the Roger Varian team but has suffered from injury issues in the last couple of years. Fox Premier is probably fairly handicapped off 97 but might want further than this, so instead the vote goes to recent Newmarket scorer BELL ROCK for the in-form Andrew Balding/Oisin Murphy combination. The four-year-old was deemed good enough to run in Group 1 company on just his third career start last season and appears to have improved for a gelding operation prior to his recent HQ success. A 5lb penalty might not be enough to stop him following up and his sire, Kingman, is thus taken to claim yet another high profile winner.
