Verdict

A fascinating renewal of this Group 2 but HIGH DEFINITION looked a colt destined for the top when showing a fine turn of foot to make a winning debut here so is impossible to oppose. Aidan O'Brien is also represented by Brazil in his bid to win this for the 10th year running and he rates the chief threat after coming good in blinkers last time. Wuqood is a good prospect and pick of the rest.
