In depth

Verdict

Salute The Soldier has a superb record around here and beat HYPOTHETICAL to land this a year ago. He hasn't been in the best of form recently but will be fully tuned-up. The runner-up made all for an impressive Group 3 victory a month ago and is expected to turn the tables but Dubai Icon, a very easy winner in January, ran poorly behind Appreciated in a Listed contest over the track and trip last time. Doug O'Neill's charge has to be respected under Frankie as does stable companion Go On, who never got involved behind stable star Hot Rod Charlie on his debut here when Everfast ran very well for third.
