5/1
Seeking a remarkable fourth win in this race and reappearance second in the Winter Derby at Southwell (11f) last month was good enough to think this 8-y-o still retains his ability. Unlikely to give up his crown without a fight.

Very smart colt who took his career record to 5-6 when proving 1¾ lengths too strong for Ottoman Fleet in Group 1 Jebel Hatta over C&D in January. A bold bid looks likely.

Very smart mare. 5/1, below form when sixth of 11 to Big Rock in Queen Elizabeth II Stakes at Ascot (1m, soft) in October but had enjoyed a good year prior to that, including a win Group 1 Falmouth. Player if the outside stall isn't too big an inconvenience.

Measured Time (4/1), Do Deuce (5/1), Lord North (5/1), Luxembourg (5/1), Nashwa (13/2), Voyage Bubble (7/1), Danon Beluga (12/1), Facteur Cheval (22/1), Namur (22/1), Real World (33/1), Cairo (40/1), Straight Arron (66/1), San Donato (66/1), Matenro Sky (66/1), Calif (100/1), Catnip (100/1)

Verdict

DO DEUCE backed up his good fourth in the Japan Cup with a Group 1 win in December and can take this prize back to the Far East. Godolphin's Measured Time was a comfortable winner of the Jebel Hatta over C&D in January and is second choice ahead of 8-y-o Lord North, who is bidding for a fourth success in this race.
