        Verdict

        High-class miler PALACE PIER bids to repeat last year’s victory in this. Unbeaten so far this season having finished well ahead of subsequent Group 2 winner Order Of Australia in the Queen Anne at Ascot last time, he remains the one to beat. Last year’s runner-up Alpine Star has claims once again with last month’s seasonal debut under her belt while 2000 Guineas hero Poetic Flare has the beating of Chindit and looks sure to be thereabouts at the finish. The unexposed Midtown placed in the Prix Jean Prat on his first start at the highest level but Mickael Barzalona sticks with stablemate Victor Ludorum, who finished in front of Ecrivain in a Group 1 at Longchamp earlier and won a Group 3 race last time.
