Verdict
BAAEED will be all the rage to keep his unbeaten record intact. An impressive winner of the Lockinge at Newbury on his reappearance, the William Haggas-trained colt should have little trouble confirming running with the placed horses, Real World and Chindit, while Sir Busker finished further behind. Order Of Australia also fell victim to the selection at Longchamp last autumn though re-opposes on 4lb better terms making his seasonal debut while Lights On is upped in class after landing a Group 2 at Sandown on her return and is preferred to Accidental Agent.
