        Verdict

        LIFE IS GOOD has only been beaten once in seven starts, when his rider was said to have been over-confident. He's now ridden by Irad Ortiz Jnr, who has been on board for his last three starts including when easily landing the Breeders' Cup Dirt Mile and beating the world's highest-ranked horse Knicks Go in the Group 1 Pegasus World Cup over 1m1f at Gulfstream, both when making all. He's never been this far but is difficult to oppose. Hot Rod Charlie came here last month and showed his class in a Group 2 and he's a genuine Grade 1 performer in the USA as is Country Grammer, who won the Hollywood Gold Cup at Santa Anita last summer and warmed up for this with a superb run in the Saudi Cup at Riyadh when Midnight Bourbon was just over a length behind. Godolphin have won this nine times and though Real World's form is on Turf he wouldn't be running here without good reason.
