Formscan - A highly competitive renewal of this prestigious contest and it can pay to side with MODERN GAMES, who ended his three-year-old campaign with a dominant success in the Breeders' Cup Mile. Charlie Appleby's colt was consistent at the highest level throughout last season and his comeback second at Keeneland should have put him spot-on. His chief threat may be My Prospero, who ran crackers for third in the St James's Palace Stakes and Champion Stakes at Ascot. Laurel has only been beaten once in her career, when pipped in the Sun Chariot, and could still be anything, while Jadoomi brings strong mile form to the table but is perhaps best suited by cut in the ground. Mutasaabeq (first) and Light Infantry (third) renew their rivalry from the bet365 mile and cannot be underestimated.
