The Frankel colt claimed his fourth victory from as many starts in the St James’s Palace Stakes last month and is a hot favourite as he meets his elders for the first time. With regular partner Frankie Dettori sidelined by suspension, Andrea Atzeni rides John Gosden’s charge for the first time.

The Aidan O’Brien-trained Gustav Klimt was beaten half a length into second place in the St James’s Palace Stakes and renews rivalry.
