Race preview
MUTASARREF gets the vote in what looks a quality renewal of this Listed race. The Ger Lyons-trained gelding has won four times at this venue and was only headed close home by Lord Massusus when reappearing over C&D last month. Diego Velazquez was only beaten a length in the French Guineas last year and went on to score twice at this venue, including when beating the selection (now 7lb better off) in the Group 2 Solonaway Stakes in September. Kortez Bay ran a cracker when second under a big weight in the Irish Lincolnshire, but probably needs soft ground to be seen at his best.
