Many of theses are well known to UK punters, especially SIMENON, who has had a dozen unsuccessful runs since completing an incredible double at Royal Ascot in 2012. However, he's competed with distinction at the highest level including when runner-up in the Gold Cup and a close fourth in the Melbourne Cup and is the class-act of this line-up. Hopefully he'll be fit enough to do himself justice otherwise the likes of Star Empire and Certerach, who are both in top form and hail from yards going strongly, will give him plenty to do. Cavalryman landed a Group 3 here last March with Saddler's Rock behind and is perfectly capable of a big run if ready after a long break while the lightly-raced and progressive Renew is one to keep an eye on.
