THE FAVOURITE –
PINATUBO
Newmarket must feel like Ballydoyle’s second home these days. Aidan O’Brien has plundered this prize ten times since 1998 and is looking for a fourth successive crown after wins in 2017, 2018 and 2019.
He’ll have a few cards to play again this time around, but it’s Charlie Appleby who holds the ace in the pack with last season’s champion two-year-old Pinatubo, who remains unbeaten.
The Godolphin colt swept aside all before him last season, drawing comparisons with Frankel following huge distance successes in both the Vintage Stakes, the Vincent O’Brien Stakes and the Dewhurst.
THE CHALLENGER –
ARIZONA

So, who is his nearest challenger? Our traders think that unenviable task will fall to Arizona. The No Nay Never colt won the Coventry last season but was subsequently beaten on all four runs in Group 1 company.
That’s not a problem with plenty of positives to take from each of those four performances, especially his 1¾l fifth in the Breeders’ Cup Juvenile Turf from a difficult draw. It’s his form with Pinatubo that’s the issue.
