The unbeaten ITEM (9) took his form to a new level with an impressive success in the G2 Dante Stakes at York last month. This well-bred son of Frankel wwas by no means stopping crossing the line and should relish the step up in trip. He's well-drawn in gate four as well and that might prove vital with BENVENUTO CELLINI (7) handed stall twelve. The latter created a big impresion when claiming the G3 Chester Vase by 4.25L on his reappearance and he commands the utmost respect for Aidan O'Brien who is looking to win the race for a fourth-straight season. His stablemate PIERRE BONNARD (12) has always been held in high regard and must be considered with the recent rain that has arrived in his favour. William Haggas' MALTESE CROSS (11) battled on well to win the Listed William Hill Lingfield Derby Trial Stakes and could be involved.
