Verdict
The Pentagon was beaten such a long way on soft ground here last month that he's difficult to consider though today's much quicker conditions are likely to bring about improvement. His stable also run the $3m colt MENDELSSOHN, a son of Scat Daddy and a half-brother to numerous winners including the multiple USA Grade 1 winner Beholder and there will be some long faces if he can't make a successful debut. Bond Street also represents Ballydoyle and he showed up well behind stable companion Gustav Klimt here last month. Medal Of Honour has improved with each run and was only caught in the closing stages by Rostropovich at Gowran with Crecerelle unable to go the pace but certain to have come on for the run.
