An excellent feature which can go the way of the G1 Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe winner of last year DARYZ (3) who remains unbeaten this season. Gained an easy success in the 1m2 1/2f G1 Prix Ganay before scoring by 3. 5L the G1 Prix Aga Khan IV over 1m1 1/4f at Longchamp (France) last month. Top chance. OMBUDSMAN (6) won this event last year and bids for a 2026 hat-trick with a 1. 75L victory in the 1m1f G1 Dubai Turf at Meydan (UAE) preceding a neck win contesting the 1m2f G3 Brigadier Gerard Stakes at Sandown three weeks ago. Leading player. ALMAQAM (1) holds claims based on his solid third in the course and distance G1 Champion Stakes of last season. Interesting. Two-time classic winning filly MINNIE HAUK (7) might feature.
