This race routinely attracts many of the world’s best ten furlong horses and that looks set to be the case again this year with Calandagan, Delacroix, Ombudsman, Los Angeles and last year’s winner Anmaat among the 38 entries.

Recent King George VI and Queen Elizabeth Stakes Calandagan was second in the race last year and could bid to go one better while his trainer Francis-Henri Graffard has also entered the 2024 King George winner Goliath and the unbeaten Daryz who looks a fascinating possible contender.
