Verdict
Baccarat won at Meydan in February on his first start for Godolphin and than ran very well in the Abernant Stakes at Newmarket considering he blew the start. But he could find former stablemate DON'T TOUCH too hot to handle here as Richard Fahey's unbeaten gelding looks more than capable of taking the step up to pattern race company this year having complete his five-timer with victory in the Ayr Gold Cup in September. Watchable kept very good company last year, finishing fourth in a Group 1 at Deauville in August, but he may have lost the winning habit. Barracuda Boy has never won at this level and the trip looks on the sharp side for Georgian Bay.
