Verdict
JUDICIAL is in the veteran stage now but won this easily last year when well supported and was also second in the race back in 2017. Dakota Gold won four times last year, including a Group 3, and made a promising reappearance at York last month so looks a danger from an inside draw but Black Friday steps out of handicaps and has a mountain to climb on these terms. Ventura Diamond looks the pick of the three-year-olds ahead of Mighty Gurkha and Rosie Powers
