Verdict

LOPE Y FERNANDEZ was unlucky not to finish closer in the Breeders' Cup Mile at Keeneland on his final 3-y-o outing and this looks a suitable reappearance race before presumably tackling Group company again. Ancient Spirit won on last season's return to action and can offer most resistance.
