Verdict

YIBIR has been a globe-trotting money-spinner for Godolphin and looks set for another profitable campaign. Unpenalised for his Group 2 Newmarket win when last seen in July, he can make a successful return. 4-y-o filly Haskoy was second past the post in the St Leger and could have more to offer in 2023. Israr and Gaassee are also ones to follow this year.
