Verdict
BOLSHOI BALLET makes a belated reappearance and debuts on the all-weather in first-time blinkers. The Ballydoyle colt won a Grade 1 at Belmont last term having earlier made a winning return to action in Group 3 company and may well be good enough on this occasion. Forest Of Dean was well beaten in the Winter Derby here when last seen in action back in February but is preferred to stablemate Harrovian while Majestic Dawn’s form has taken a dip since going close in France in August when ahead of Millebosc. Missed The Cut also raced in France last time when coming up short in a Group 2 while Algiers ran below par in a Listed race at Newmarket last month.
