The Germany-trained Ross has taken well to Polytrack and landed a Listed contest at Deauville last month so if he acts on this surface he'll be a threat to all. FREE WHEELING is a class-act on his day as he showed when a close third in the Godolphin Mile on World Cup night. He didn't run very well on his reappearance but should put that behind him here and gain his second victory on the track. Cool Cowboy produced a superb performance when runner-up to Reynaldothewizard over 6f two weeks ago and if building on that looks certain to get involved. He holds Muaanid on a line through that winner and the latter is also very closely matched with Encipher on their 1-2 over track and trip a year ago.
