Race preview
The presence of Audience virtually assures this will be run at a good gallop. That scenario would be ideal for COSMIC YEAR, who won the King Charles II Stakes over C&D in May and has been highly tried since. His second in the Irish 2,000 Guineas is a solid yardstick and a replication of that form could suffice. French raider Beauvatier is effective over this trip and is another likely to be pushing the pace so should be thereabouts.
