Verdict

One of the strongest renewals we have seen of the Juddmonte International in recent years and it's a fascinating class of generations. ROARING LION and Poet's Word are taken to battle it out with the former a tentative selection in receipt of the weight-for-age allowance. John Gosden's Eclipse winner still gives the impression he's improving with each run and given his impressive C&D win in the Dante earlier in the season, this track would seem ideal for him. Poet's Word isn't taken on lightly but with a suspicion he's at his absolute best over 1m4f, he's taken to fill the runner-up spot. Dual Group 1 winner Thunder Snow can outrun his likely double figure odds.
  1. Roaring Lion
  2. Poet's Word
  3. Thunder Snow
