Verdict

Stradivarius was impressive when winning the Group 2 Yorkshire Cup on return to action and there's every chance we haven't seen the best of him yet, but ORDER OF ST GEORGE is likely to prove very hard to beat. Aidan O'Brien's charge was only narrowly touched off in this race last year and he was impressive when landing 2016's renewal. Vazirabad isn't one to rule out on his first start in the UK and his performance in the Dubai Gold Cup in March suggest he's as good as ever. If any at the front of the market fail to give their running, Sheikhzayedroad will be doing all his best work in the finish and shouldn't be ruled out for a place.
