Verdict

INTO THE LIGHT and Heyzoom have both had the form of their latest run boosted and look ahead of their marks. There's a slight doubt about the latter's stamina for 1½m so that tips the vote the way of Godolphin's charge, who is already proven at the trip. Ralph Beckett has won this race twice in recent years and Tierra Del Toro is next on the list after his good run in the London Gold Cup. Waterford Castle and Al Azd, another from the London Gold Cup, complete the shortlist.

  1. INTO THE LIGHT
  2. HEYZOOM (IRE)
  3. TIERRA DEL TORO
