Ryan Moore gets the ride on The Astrologist, a regular performer and winner at Group level in Australia and beaten a head in the Group 1 Al Quoz Sprint at Meydan in March. Godolphin's Al Suhail was only a neck behind in third so Charlie Appleby should know how he stands with his representative here CREATIVE FORCE, the 2021 Champion Sprint winner, who looked as good as ever at Haydock on Saturday. Three-year-olds rarely run in this so Karl Burke must have confidence in Marshman, who made most for a convincing victory in a Group 3 at Chantilly though against his own age group. Highfield Princess won this a year ago and three Group 1's in succession later before finding very fast ground against her in the Breeders' Cup Turf Sprint where the selection finished just in front. She's never won first-time-out and concedes weight all round so may have to settle for a place.
