Solid tempo headed by Pericles and Mr Brightside. The first of our Group Ones and MR BRIGHTSIDE (1) clearly goes on top. He was beaten first up in the Orr by Another Wil but did work early from a wide gate and the market said the winner was tuned right up, which he was. Mr B gave his all and ran as well, if not better than his usual fresh runs. Drawn wide again but he'll be fitter and it'll take a big performance to knock the champ off. I WISH I WIN (2) is the one capable of doing so. Pigeonholed as a sprinter following his win in the TJ Smith Stakes on very heavy ground, remember he's beaten Fangirl in a 1500m Golden Eagle and was only beaten half a length by Mr B in the Memsie Stakes over this route in 2023. He'll be charging late. PERICLES (3) can run well fresh. He's consistent, maps for a soft run and should be competitive. PRIVATE LIFE (10) was sound in the Orr but has a few lengths to find. EVAPORATE (11) was luckless fresh and can figure. SUGGESTED PLAY: Mr Brightside to win.
