Verdict

It's hard to oppose DEFOE following his dominant success in a Group 3 at Newbury last time out and a reproduction of that effort would leave all of his rivals needing a career best. Count Octave rates as the main danger and while he's never won on turf, he's placed in Group class and is lightly raced for his age. Khalidi has been a little disappointing in two starts for this yard but would have the beating of the remainder if he returns to his best form.
