Verdict

Conclusion, a dual winner for Aidan O'Brien, never got involved on his debut here a fortnight ago but should be a different proposition with that under his belt. Muzdawaj looked like beating Rio Tigre when moving smoothly into the lead over an extra furlong last month but was run out of it close home. The shorter trip can enable him to reverse the form with the winner, who had a fitness advantage. POUVOIR MAGIQUE, three times a winner for John Gosden, made an eye-catching start over a mile last month when staying on once the race was almost over. That was his first run since July and the longer trip can enable him to return to winning ways. His stable have three other runners with Basateen possibly the best, despite a big weight, as he's generally competed at a much higher level.
