Verdict
Aidan O’Brien has won this Group 1 eight times, including four times in the last six years. By Frankel and a half-brother to five winners including the smart Broome and Point Lonsdale, the unbeaten Diego Velazquez is Ballydoyle’s chief hope. He’s already won a Group 2 at Leopardstown but won’t have things his own way against ANCIENT WISDOM. The Godolphin colt won a Group 3 on soft going at Newmarket two weeks ago with a degree of comfort and his only defeat so far came against the Grand Criterium winner Rosallion at Ascot. Dancing Gemini can’t be ignored having bolted up over 7f here last month with Battle Cry held on that run. God's Window was making his debut when beating Redhot Whisper and Deira Mile over course and distance so looks the pick of the remainder.
