Subsequent classic winners have won the last two renewals of this Group Three so the form is going to be worth following next year. FUTURE EMPIRE was just caught by Aktabantay in the Solario Stakes at Sandown in August and the winner wasn't beaten far in the Grand Criterium at Longchamp on Sunday. That looks the best form on offer and Saeed bin Suroor's colt can go one better today. Godolphin also have easy Kempton winner Strong Chemistry in the line-up while Order Of St George was impressive at Leopardstown last time. Mukhayyam takes a big step up in class having won a Thirsk nursery last time, however, and this also looks a big ask for recent maiden winners Bartholomew Fair and Commemorative.
