      Verdict

      Very few three-year-olds have run in this and none have won in 13 years so the odds are stacked against Mohaafeth despite having completed a four-timer, the latest in the Group 3 Hampton Court Stakes at Ascot. He's never run against older horses and will find ARMORY a very tough opponent. The Ballydoyle colt easily won a Group 2 at Chester before a fine run behind illustrious stable companion Love in the Prince Of Wales's Stakes at Ascot and will be hard to beat. Bangkok and Montatham don't quite look up to this but Juan Elcano is progressive and beat the useful Patrick Sarsfield in good style in Listed company at Ascot.
