Verdict

It was back in 2006 that this race was last won by a 3-y-o, but in MOHAAFETH the Classic generation is represented by a potential top-notch colt this year. He oozed class at Royal Ascot last month and, with Montatham likely to ensure that they go a good clip and fast ground forecast, he should prove too strong for Armory, in receipt of 12 lb from the Irish raider. Juan Elcano is best of the rest.
