Verdict

GHAIYYATH is confidently expected to maintain his unbeaten record in 2020 and make it win number five with another all-the-way victory. Magical is an admirable mare and a mutliple Group 1 winner herself but looks booked for second once more behind Charlie Appleby's top-class front runner. French-raider Sottsass rates the pick of the remainder in a cracking renewal of the Irish Champion.
