      Verdict

      Ballydoyle horses have dominated this contest in the last decade but Adelaide River has plenty to find with ARREST on last year’s form in France. The latter was only beaten a head by subsequent 2000 Guineas fifth Dubai Mile in a Group 1 contest at Saint-Cloud in October and is clear of these at the weights. Hadrianus finished runner-up in the Blue Riband Trial at Epsom on his reappearance but Galactic Jack struggled in the Listed Feilden Stakes at Newmarket and the dual novice winner Duke Of Oxford has plenty to find in this company.
