      In depth

      Verdict

      BOLSHOI BALLET has won a Grade 1 on the Turf at Belmont since disappointing in the Derby. Currently a big price for the Arc, the Ballydoyle colt gets another chance over 1m4f with Frankie Dettori taking over the reins. Baby Rider is a Group 2 winner though both he and Bubble Gift failed to figure in the Grand Prix de Paris on testing ground here last time while the latter beat Media Stream when scoring here back in May. Pretty Tiger is another Group 2 winner and is preferred to Timour of the rest.
