Sir Michael Stoute has won the Brigadier Gerard Stakes nine times, including with Autocratic (2017) and Poet's Word (2018). His 2019 representative Regal Reality (sixth of nine in 2018) is respected off the back of a pleasing seasonal reappearance in the Bet 365 Mile. However, he is totally unproven at this 1m2f trip (dam was a 6f-7f winner) and that sways things firmly towards the 2018/19 AW Champion MATTERHORN who represents Mark Johnston (won this race with Bandari in 2004). He deserves plenty of credit for finishing second to Forest Ranger on unsuitable soft ground in Chester's Group 2 Huxley Stakes, so with the prospect of a sound racing surface tonight, he gets the vote.
