Race preview
Better was expected of WHISTLEJACKET in the Norfolk three weeks ago, but he was by no means disgraced in fourth. The son of No Nay Never hit the line strongly that day and ought to prove more effective at this longer trip, so it would come as no surprise were he to provide Aidan O'Brien a first winner in this contest since Royal Lytham back in 2019. Ain't Nobody maintained his unbeaten record when swooping late to land the Windsor Castle last time, though it is Coventry runner-up Electrolyte that may be the main threat.
