This spells bad news for Beat The Bank, Lancaster Bomber, Librisa Breeze, Lightning Spear, Zonderland, Dutch Connection, Alexios Komnenos and Lahore.

So it’s a big field for this classy contest but we have managed to chop almost half of them out in one stroke.

Nine of the past 10 Lockinge winners had already won over the mile distance so there’s a mountain to climb for Limato, Deauville, Accidental Agent and War Decree.

That has cut the 16 down to four still standing. Age has played a big part in his with no winner aged older than five in the past 10 years.

So we will overlook the charms of seven-year-old Suedois.

There has been a strict bracket on the official ratings for Lockinge winners of 117 to 136 with nine victors coming from that.

Two of our remaining three fall by the wayside — Rhododendron and Zabeel Prince.

That leaves us with ADDEYBB who won the Lincoln at Doncaster on his seasonal comeback before taking the Group 2 Bet365 Mile at Sandown last time.

He fits the other key trend of the winner coming from the first three in the betting and should run a good race.
