FOUND was beaten just over a length by Fascinating Rock in the Champion Stakes at Ascot then beat Golden Horn in the Breeders' Cup Turf over 1m4f at Keeneland. Aidan O'Brien's filly came here for a Group 3 earlier this month and looked very impressive in beating Success Days and Fascinating Rock. The latter looked as though he needed the run so there's not likely to be much between them again though the selection is taken to repeat the performance. The Grey Gatsby was a short-priced favourite for this a year ago but could only finish fourth. He's only competed at Group 1 level in his last nine starts and won twice so has to be respected despite an absence since September. Time Test beat the high-class Custom Cat in a Group 2 at Newmarket in September before finding the trip in a slowly-run race too short in the Breeders' Cup Mile.
