Verdict
This is another cracking contest and we will side with KIRKLEES to get the better of All The Aces and Curtain Call. Godolphin are in decent form at present and Kirklees arrives here on the back of an impressive win in a Group 2 contest at York. He was a little disappointing on the dirt at Nad Al Sheba back in March but he really should be up to the task of taking this event today. All The Aces looks the chief danger as he won a Listed race at Newmarket back in June, but he was outclassed in a Group 2 race last time and he has yet to prove that he is a Group performer. Curtain Call wasn't beaten far in a Group 2 contest at the Curragh last month but he finished behind our selection previously and he looks to have a little to find if he is to turn the tables. Clive Brittain won this race last year so Kandidate could be of interest at a price. However, we will stick with Kirkless who looks to hold rock-solid claims.
