Race preview
An intriguing contest where German Group winner LOFT will try to give weight away to all of his rivals. A winner at Hoppegarten in May, he travelled to Belmont Park in June to win the Gold Cup Stakes and, with no stamina issues, he could be the one to beat. Both River Of Stars and Typewriter have plenty of ability and receive 22lb from the four-year-old, which will level the playing field considerably.
