Verdict

Those who doubted whether GOLDIKOVA had retained her class this season have been made to look foolish after she rattled up another Group 1 hat-trick and she can make it four in a row here. Not on her game in the Prix d'Ispahan in May, she scrapped for the Falmouth Stakes and then romped home with the Prix Rothschild and Prix Jacques La Marois. Aqlaam boosted that last piece of form with a Group 1 win himself at Longchamp and the drop in trip should not inconvenience Freddie Head's superstar here. She shows so much speed it is unlikely she will be undone by the drop to seven furlongs and the rest could be battling it out for place money.
