Verdict
Charlie Appleby has won this twice and runs two with decent claims. William Buick partners Modern Games having won a Group 3 over 7f at Newmarket in good style but Frankie steered home ALBAHR in a Grade 1 contest over today’s trip at Woodbine in September and the runner-up Grafton Street has subsequently won. The Godolphin colt should make another bold bid and is also preferred to Great Max and the Ballydoyle representative Glounthaune while Dewhurst runner-up Dubawi Legend has been done no favours by the draw as he steps up in trip. Tiz The Bomb beat Stolen Base and Credibility when winning a Grade 2 at Keeneland and Mackinnon is a Listed winner while Portfolio Company is a likely improver for Chad Brown’s yard and is preferred to Dakota Gold and Slipstream of the rest.
