Verdict

Godolphin have won the last two renewals of this contest and they run three in here but it's RIBCHESTER who gives them a fantastic chance of making it three wins in as many years. We still may not have seen the best of Somehow who won easily enough in Group company last time suggesting she can get competitive in this. Lightning Spear has finished close to Ribchester in the past and he may be able to land a place if he gets a fast pace to aim at.
