B Rabbah Bloodstock Limited TIMEFORM VIEWTop-notch performer who was runner-up in the Eclipse here 12 months ago. Should be sharper following his reappearance third in the C&D Brigadier Gerard and very much the one to beat at this level, albeit slower ground would be ideal. TFRHHHHI BHA118

David Probert J Andrew Balding, Kingsclere T B Manister House Stud King Power International Co Ltd S TIMEFORM VIEW Three-time winner in 2021, including in Group 3 company at Haydock. Not at his best in three starts so far this season, but he’s versatile ground-wise and it would be no great surprise were to bounce back with a bold show. TFRHHHII BHA109

Rausing TIMEFORM VIEW Signed off 2021 campaign by finishing second in this grade on the AW at Lingfield. Decent third back from a break in the Wolferton at Royal Ascot (Regal Reality and Foxes Tales back in fourth and sixth respectively), but more needed if he’s to emerge on top here. TFRHHHII BHA109

Saeed bin Suroor, Newmarket T B Godolphin Emirates Fly Better S TIMEFORM VIEW Won three on the bounce last summer, including a Goodwood Group 3. Wasn’t at his best in Dubai earlier this year, though his latest effort at Meydan in March wasn’t bad and entitled to have a say here if on-song. TFRHHHII BHA109

O Mr Peter Done
Sir Michael Stoute, Newmarket T B Cheveley Park Stud Limited Peninsula Business Services Limited S TIMEFORM VIEW Smart in 2020 and though largely below par last season, he went close on the AW in December and resumed with an eye-catching fourth of 15 in the Wolferton at Royal Ascot where he did well to finish as close as he did. Big player. TFRHHHHH BHA108

Ralph Beckett, Kimpton Down T B M. Downey & Kildaragh Stud R M Beckett Ltd S TIMEFORM VIEW Scored twice last autumn, including in this grade at Goodwood in September, but he’s barely beaten a rival home in two starts so far this season and now has a fair bit to prove. TFRHIIII BHA104
DECLARED RUNNERS 7 2021: EUCHEN GLEN 8 9 12 Paul Mulrennan 11-4 (Jim Goldie) 5 ran
Visor worn by No. 7. Blinkers, Tongue Strap worn by No. 3. Sheepskin Cheek Pieces worn by No. 1, 6. Stewards Note: VICTORY CHIME: Following its run on 3/6/2022 it was reported that the horse was never travelling. Probable S.P’s: 13-8 Addeybb (IRE), 5-1 Regal Reality (GB), 11-2 Foxes Tales (IRE), 7-1 Harrovian (GB), 17-2 Passion And Glory (IRE), 11-1 Soto Sizzler (GB), 40-1 Victory Chime (IRE)
REGAL REALITY shaped well when returning from a six-month absence at Royal Ascot and makes for an appealing alternative to Addeybb, who is obviously the class act in this line-up but would ideally be suited by slower ground and, moreover, is presumably being teed-up for bigger targets in the autumn. Foxes Tales and Passion And Glory should both have parts to play, too.
