The jet-setting Heartbreak City arrives here on the back of a blinding run in the Melbourne Cup. A Galway Festival winner in the summer, it won't be any surprise to see him in the mix again here. His trainer has equally solid claims with Golden Spear who ran well at Ascot last time out and should go well again. That's A Wrap was a C&D winner last month, with the likes of After Rain, Gladiator King and Veinard all close in behind, and he should mount another challenge. ALLBLAK DES PLACES was disappointing last time out but that was on very testing ground and, with the champion jockey's blessing, he is fancied to make amends by running a big race on his handicap debut here.
