Verdict

Several of these are going to benefit from a step up in trip and the one that could appreciate the greater stamina test most is MOGUL. The son of Galileo looked highly progressive as a juvenile, taking a Group 2 along the way and he appears to be the first-string for Ballydoyle. Stablemate Arthur's Kingdom performed to a smart level when runner-up at Saint-Cloud last time while Mohican Heights has done nothing wrong in his two starts to date and he ought to put up a bold defence of his unbeaten record.
  1. Mogul
  2. Arthur's Kingdom
  3. Mohican Heights
