Verdict

Racing immortality awaits BAAEED, who made it a perfect 10 stepped up to 1¼m for the first time in the Juddmonte International at York and can emulate Timeform's highest rated horse Frankel in ending his glittering career unbeaten. 2021 Derby-winner Adayar is a major contender on that form so he's feared most, with Bay Bridge third choice in what promises to be a race for the ages.
