The experienced Shifted Strategy sets the standard here particularly as one of very few who has soft ground form but he usually finds one or two too good and that could well be the case here. Aidan O'Brien's ASTRONOMER gets the nod. This expensive purchase by Galileo ran well on debut and given O'Brien's horses tend to improve significantly for their first run he gets the nod. Also of interest is Fridtjof Nansen who ran his best race to date last time out, that form should put him in the thick of things here.
