      Verdict

      Henry Cecil looks to have found another winning opportunity here for Arabian Art, and he is nominated to get the better of Mandelieu and Magical Speedfit. The selection won well last time at Warwick when she set a course record and she is clearly a filly on an upward curve. She has more on her plate here but she should be up to the task. Mandelieu and Magical Speedfit are closley-matched from a run at Newmarket back in June, and on these terms Mandelieu should come out on top today. Anything that Mick Channon sends to post here is worthy of respect, so Tadalavil has to be considered, but he does appear to have had his limitations exposed. Arabian Art has shown enough to date to make her the one to beat.
