      Verdict

      HENRYTHENAVIGATOR may have had his unbeaten run ended at Longchamp recently but he can resume winning ways here at the main expense of Tamayuz with Raven's Pass having to settle for an honourable third. Henry's defeat behind Goldikova in the Prix du Moulin was in no small part down to the ground as he never looked at ease on the rain-softened surface and he has now been beaten on all three starts with 'soft' in the going description. There is rain forecast but the straight course has drained quickly since the redevelopment and he should have conditions to his liking and can continue his trainer's domination at the highest level. Tamayuz is a stablemate of Goldikova and adds another dimension to this fascinating contest. A wide draw was no help to him in the French Guineas but he defeated Raven's Pass by a length and a half in the Jean Prat before slamming Natagora in the Jacques le Marois. Raven's Pass has got closer to Henry with each outing and had reduced the margin to a head at Goodwood - although connections of the winner were quick to claim that their charge was always doing enough. The remainder are merely extras on the big stage.
