'Lightly raced compared to most of these but looks progressive; interesting'

'Won this last year and shown plenty of good form since; solid claims in repeat bid'

'Quite capable of good form but landing a Group 1 will require another step up'

'Multiple Group 1-winning stayer who faces a tough task on reappearance'

'Third in this last year but has subsequently won a Group 1; one of the leading candidates'

'Nicely bred and unexposed as a stayer but owner has more obvious claims with Double Major'

'Finished behind a couple of these in the Dubai Gold Cup last time so hard task here'

'Plenty to do on the figures and this is a tough race for your seasonal return'

'Been in great form this year, the only negative would be if the ground rode genuinely soft'
