        Verdict

        It could be worth chancing that ALANDI caps a memorable day for John Oxx and Mick Kinane in the final Group 1 of a stellar card. He's really improved with racing this season and stayed on best of all to land the Irish St Leger last time, when he was well ahead of Yeats. The great horse has never won this race despite it being pretty close to the Ascot Gold trip, but that's probably because he doesn't usually get his ground. He might do on Sunday and it would be fitting if he could win this on what could be his final appearance on a racetrack. I just prefer Alandi to improve again at the marathon trip, though, with Yeats and Kasbah Bliss fighting it out for the minors.
