So You Think and Workforce are tied for favourite at Bet365, both priced at 6/4 to win.

So You Think is coming off a close second behind Rewilding in the Group 1 Prince of Wales’s Stakes at Ascot, which followed on from a win in the Group 1 Tattersalls Gold Cup. Previously a top runner in major Australian races, So You Think is rightfully favoured in this run. A place is almost certain for this legend, and a win is likely but could depend on the rider.

Workforce is the current Arc de Triomphe champion and came back this season with a win in the Group 3 Brigadier Gerard Stakes at Sandown. We think he has been prepped quite thoroughly for this race, and we have to back him. If So You Think drops out of the race, we can’t think of how Workforce could lose this one.

Bet365 has also posted odds for Canford Cliffs (with a run) at 9/4. With a current 5 win streak in Group 1 races, you can bet that his chances should be good. However, the slightly longer distance of the Coral Eclipse Stakes will probably keep him out of the race, as 1 mile seems to be the sweet spot for the 4 year old.
