Three-year-olds have held their own against older horses in this Group 3 in recent years and only a neck separated Duneflower and Look Around when they were second and third in the Atlanta Stakes at Sandown in August. Matterhorn has won over a mile on Turf and over 1m2f on the all-weather so this intermediate distance should prove ideal. All going comes alike to the Mark Johnston runner, who is due a change of luck and finished ahead of Pincheck at Leopardstown last month. DOLPHIN VISTA won the Cambridgeshire over track and trip in 2017. He’s since won twice at Listed level, including in France in August when he came through with a wet sail despite getting loose on the way to the start. He looks to be at the top of his game and can record the biggest victory of his career today.
