Verdict

Although OMBUDSMAN was edged out by Delacroix in the Eclipse it came only 17 days after his big performance at Royal Ascot and, freshened up since, he might be able to take his revenge on his old rival this time. Unbeaten French 3-y-o Daryz and Japanese raider Danon Decile add a fascinating dimension to what is always one of the highlights of the season.
