Sir Michael Stoute has won this twice in recent years and will be hoping for a big run from the lightly-raced Fiorente, a maiden winner here last May then placed in Group 2 and 3 company in the summer. Harris Tweed's best run last year was when a head behind Drunken Sailor in a Goodwood Group 3 in July but he was 3l behind Modun in a Polytrack Group 3 at Kempton in September and the winner has the advantage of a decent run at Meydan last month. It was good to see ARCTIC COSMOS back on song at Kempton last month where he made all for a very easy Listed race success. The 2010 St Leger hero was having just his third run since his classic victory and can take this before heading for the big middle-distance races this season. Eye Of The Tiger once beat the classy Getaway on soft ground in Germany so watch the betting for this one.
