Verdict

Freddie Head trained the brilliant Goldikova to win this contest three times and runs Polydream, who ran into trouble at Longchamp behind surprise 33/1 winner One Master last time, but won a Group 1 race before that. EXPERT EYE also failed to get the best of runs at Longchamp in September but still finished third in the Prix du Moulin ahead of Lightning Spear. Frankie Dettori rode him to victory in the Group 3 Sky Bet City Of York over 7f before that and Sir Michael Stoute’s colt is fancied to make a bold bid over today’s tight mile. One Master also beat Gustav Klimt in France but Ryan Moore sticks with the latter rather than stablemates I Can Fly and Happily, who both went close in Group 1 contests last time, while Mustashry looks his yard’s second string behind the selection. Oscar Performance makes most appeal for the home team having won the Woodbine Mile in September while Next Shares beat Analyze It in a Grade 1 at Keeneland and is also preferred to Catapult.
