Verdict
Godolphin have a strong hand here with MASTERSTROKE and Lost In The Moment and preference is for the former. He improved throughout last season when with Andre Fabre culminating in his excellent third in the 'Arc. A son of Monsun, it's likely his new trainer can encourage further progress and he can make a successful reappearance. Aiken is another returning from a long break but he'll be fit enough though he will probably be seen to better effect when tackling further as he was caught right on the line by Rite Of Passage over 2m at Ascot in October. Forgotten Voice and Sheikhzayedroad fought out a finish over 1m2f at Ascot in June with the former just prevailing when conceding 4lb so he should get the better of that particular argument again.
