Verdict

It's hard to look passed Newmarket winner CHURCHILL in this feature race on today's card. The selection has beaten a number of today's rivals in the past and has leading jockey Ryan Moore in the saddle once more as he attempts to record his fourth consecutive win at the highest level. Irishcorrespondent is unbeaten in two outings and can register his first placing at the highest level by claiming second in this while Thunder Snow, runner-up to the selection in the Dewhurst last year and a Group 2 winner in Dubai prior to a wayward performance in the Kentucky Derby last time can finish third.
