Timeform View

A much-anticipated clash between OMBUDSMAN, Timeform's highest-rated horse in Europe, and Constitution River, who established himself as the best middle-distance 3-y-o around with his smooth win in the Eclipse. The latter looks capable of even bigger performances but Godolphin's superstar is still taken to become the first back-to-back winner of this since Halling 30 years ago. Item has landed a pair of Group 2 wins over C&D this year and may prove best of the remainder.

Timeform Comments

Almaqam
Excellent third to Calandagan and Ombudsman in Champion Stakes at Ascot last autumn and grabbed a Group 1 success of his own in the Tattersalls Gold Cup at the Curragh (10.5f, good) on reappearance. Couldn't live with Ombudsman in the Prince of Wales's at Royal Ascot since, though.
Devil's Advocate
Smart performer but in here as a pacemaker for Ombudsman.
Ombudsman (IRE)
Top-class performer who won this race last year and is 3-3 in 2026, notably a most impressive 4-length winner of Prince of Wales's at Royal Ascot (1¼m, good to firm) in June. If he shows up here in similar form he'll be very hard to beat again.
Pride Of Arras (IRE)
Smart winner of the Dante and Great Voltigeur here last season and added to his strong York record when chasing home Item in the Sky Bet Stakes last month. Nothing in his record to suggest he'll be up to the required standard here, though.
Zaydann
This French-trained colt has rapidly developed into a smart performer, winning his last 5 races, including 2 listed contests and a Group 3 around 1¼m. Will need to raise his game to trouble some of these top-class opponents but anything his yard sends over is afforded respect.
Action (IRE)
Smart effort when second to Item in the Dante over C&D in May but has been used as a pacemaker more recently and that looks set to be his role here, too.
Constitution River (FR)
Overcame a poor draw in the Prix du Jockey Club at Chantilly before stretching his winning run to 5 when comfortably accounting for 6 rivals in the Eclipse at Sandown (1¼m, good to firm) last month. There is likely even more to come from this good-looking son of Wootton Bassett.
Hawk Mountain (IRE)
Group 1 winner as a juvenile. Returned to win 9f Chantilly Group 3 with cheekpieces added in May and even better when placed behind Constitution River in Prix du Jockey Club back at Chantilly and Eclipse at Sandown since. More a place than win contender again, though.
Item
Good winner of the Dante on reappearance. Perhaps caught out by soft conditions when only ninth in Derby at Epsom and wasted no time resuming his progression when proving 2¾ lengths too strong for Pride of Arras in Sky Bet York Stakes over C&D (good to firm) 25 days ago. Likely more to come.
