Round three of OMBUDSMAN (6) versus DELACROIX (9) where the score currently stands at one a piece. The former might just possess the superior turn as he displayed in winning the G1 Prince Of Wales's Stakes here at Royal Ascot. Trained by John and Thady Gosden he picked up well to beat the second mentioned in the G1 Juddmonte International Stakes at York. Will have help of a pacemaker once more. The latter has since put up a devastating performance in the G1 Irish Champion Stakes at Leopardstown and will be a massive threat if ridden more aggressively than when in York. Winner of the G1 King George VI & Queen Elizabeth Stakes this season CALANDAGAN (2) has been kept fresh for this and commands the utmost respect revisiting 1m2f. ALMAQAM (1) looks a live each-way player.
