      Verdict

      Iberia finished fifth in the National Stakes at the Curragh but Ryan Moore keeps faith with YEAR OF THE TIGER, who almost certainly didn’t show his true form when failing to fire in the Superlative Stakes here in the summer. Being out of 1000 Guineas third Tiggy Wiggy, he might be suited by a first try over a mile. Pyledriver was always holding Sound Of Cannons in a Listed race over this trip at Haydock three weeks ago but Kameko looks a bigger danger. Andrew Balding’s colt just failed to overhaul Positive in a Group 3 at Sandown last month and is sure to relish the extra furlong. Surf Dancer goes for the hat-trick after landing the odds at Leicester and Chelmsford but needs a lot more. Highland Chief was ahead of the selection in the Chesham Stakes at Ascot so can’t be ignored.
