John Smith’s Cup Runners & Entries

This year’s antepost favourite is Roger Varian’s Mountain Angel, who was last seen finishing fifth in a Listed race at Royal Ascot. Prior to that, he had won back to back handicaps and despite a career-high mark, he may still have more to offer. John Gosden’s Star of Bengal is also likely to be very popular, winning well on handicap debut before finding Listed company too tough.
