Race preview
MIGHTY ULYSSES was far from disgraced when stepped up to Group 1 company in the St James's Palace at Royal Ascot last month. He was beaten by less than a length on that occasion and a reproduction of that level of form today would make him hard to beat. Berkshire Shadow was not far behind the selection that day and is an obvious threat. Albahr failed to fire on the dirt at Meydan when last seen in January, but he was a Grade 1 winner in Canada last year and has to be of some interest on his return. The Acropolis bounced back to form when narrowly beaten in a Listed race at the Curragh last time and he could make the frame again.
