Verdict

Ryan Moore's victory on THE GREY GATSBY in the Irish Champion Stakes was one of the riding highlights of the last campaign and, hopefully, Kevin Ryan's colt will be at his best as he'll need to be in this company. This has been his target since that victory over Australia in September and his class can see him home despite the trip looking on the short side. Solow progressed into a high-class performer last season which culminated in victory in the Group 2 Prix Daniel Wildenstein at Longchamp. That looked a strong renewal and with a recent run at Chantilly under his belt he's an obvious threat. Mshawish has completed a hat-trick on very fast ground at Gulfstream and though beaten into fourth in this last year he didn't get the best of runs and comes back for another crack. He'd beaten Trade Storm comfortably in the Zabeel Mile earlier and is a real threat to the Europeans. The lightly-raced Cladocera defied a poor draw to land the Balanchine on her second run here last month and she's progressing at a rate of knots while Marco Botti's Euro Charline landed the prestigious Beverly D at Arlington in August on just her seventh racecourse appearance.
