Verdict

It's hard to pin down Le Brivido given it's almost two years since his impressive Jersey Stakes win, but the presence of Ryan Moore vcannot be ignored, and he was looked after in the Gladness Stakes so should improve. Preference, however, is for the ultra-reliable LAURENS, who can be forgiven her final run last year, and had collected a trio of Group 1 prizes prior to that. Lord Glitters has run several excellent races at this level in the past year, and is also entitled to respect after an encouraging effort in Dubai.
