      Verdict

      Spotify, who won this last year, goes well fresh so the fact that he hasn't had a run since a close third at Longchamp in June shouldn't be a problem. His stable also run GHAIYYATH, who reappeared last April to land a Group 2 at Longchamp and later won a Group 1 at Baden-Baden by 14 lengths before well beaten in the Arc. He should have the class for this though Royal Meeting won a Group 1 at Chantilly as a two-year-old but has only had three subsequent starts. Desert Encounter had two runs here last spring but returned to the UK in top form and completed a four-timer in the Grade 1 Canadian International at Woodbine.
