In depth

Verdict

Four of the last seven winners have hailed from Ballydoyle and last year’s winner Mendelssohn was also placed in the Dewhurst before landing this. Anthony Van Dyck was third in the latter contest when last in action but a wide draw has done him no favours and he’ll need some luck in-running. That also applies to Todd Pletcher’s Current, who won a Grade 3 at Keeneland last time but only by a nose from Henley's Joy with War Of Will a close-up third while Forty Under beat Somelikeithotbrown to also win a Grade 3 at Belmont and could go well. But LINE OF DUTY (NAP) impressed when showing a good turn of foot to win a Group 3 contest in France for Charlie Appleby, who won this 2013, and the Godolphin colt is fancied to take another step forward to land this prize. UK representatives Arthur Kitt and Marie's Diamond look up against it but The Black Album is interesting for France having finished in front of a subsequent Group 1 winner when scoring at Longchamp in September.
