Racing Post verdict
Third-partyPearl Eye heads our figures on a solid recent profile: a win three starts back and two further thirds in the mix across his last five starts, with just a sixth last time out as the blip. He returns only 16 days off that run, already proven over today's distance and going. Spiritoftheblues, runner-up last time out and a winner four starts back, matches Pearl Eye on our figures and is the most obvious threat, while Pol Roger and Polygram both arrive without a win in recent starts but cannot be dismissed on class alone. Our selection is Pearl Eye, the one to beat on current form.
