        Verdict

        Japan have won this four times in six years and their only representative, Vin De Garde, is a very smart performer though at a slightly lower level. Lord Glitters has been in superb form since arriving here in January culminating in a victory in the Group 1 Jebel Hatta on Super Saturday. David O'Meara's stable star had Eqtiraan half-a-length back in second, the short-priced favourite Al Suhail a short-head away in third, with Court House and Zainhom also close behind. The winner has an obvious chance again though the third was having his first start since the summer and could take his revenge. Apart from a poor run on soft ground in the Champion Stakes at Ascot, LORD NORTH (NAP) had a superb 2020 with an easy victory in the Group 1 Prince Of Wales's Stakes the highlight. His 4 lengths success over genuine Group 1 performers Addeybb, Barney Roy and Japan would be enough to take this.
