    Verdict

    Aidan O’Brien has saddled the runner-up in this contest four times in the past but CIRCUS MAXIMUS may prove good enough this time. The St James’s Palace Stakes winner arrives on the back of a victory in the Prix du Moulin at Longchamp and is preferred of the European contingent including Hey Gaman and Group 2 winner Space Traveller. Danny Tudhope partners the latter rather than Lord Glitters or stablemate Suedois, who found Bowies Hero too good in a Grade 1 at Keeneland last month. Uni has been supplemented for $100,00 after breaking the course record at Keeneland but was no match for Got Stormy at Saratoga before that when failing to get a clear run while the latter subsequently fell victim to shock winner El Tormenta in the Woodbine Mile along with Lucullan. Without Parole has failed to repeat last year’s success at Ascot and has been switched to Chad Brown’s yard since well beaten in the Lockinge back in May.
