Verdict

A cracking contest where many have chances based on their best form. With the majority of the field being aged four, there is scope for improvement from some, but despite that we'll take the tried and tested Group 1 course winner LORD GLITTERS to prevail, as he loves this place and goes well fresh. Skardu, Marie's Diamond and Zaaki head the list of dangers, while the talented-but-fragile San Donato would be a major player if able to produce his best after another lengthy absence.
  1. Lord Glitters
  2. Skardu
  3. Marie's Diamond
