Do not oppose Kayf Tara in tomorrow's Gold Cup at Royal Ascot. Godolphin's hope, winner of this prize in 1998, is the best stayer in training and can outclass his 12 rivals in the showpiece on Ladies' Day.
The son of Sadler's Wells lost his crown in last year's running of the race, finishing third behind Enzeli.
It was his only defeat during the 1999 campaign which saw him land the Goodwood Cup and Irish St Leger along with two French Group races.
Injury prevented him taking his place in that November's Melbourne Cup but the six-year-old returned to action at York last month and produced a top-class performance.
Ridden by Frankie Dettori, the selection trounced his opposition in the July Cup, coasting past the post four lengths clear of Rainbow Ways.
Michael Kinane is a more-than-able deputy for the injured Italian and they can take the day's Showcase race in style.
Last year's winner Enzeli and 1997 victor Celeric are also in the field but Compton Ace is taken to chase Kayf Tara home.
Godolphin have good prospects of a double through Lend A Hand in the Cork And Orrery Stakes.
The five-year-old scored on the same day as Kayf Tara at York, outpointing Pipalong by a length and a half in the Duke Of York Victor Chandler Stakes.
Tim Easterby believed Pipalong would take a lot of beating in the top sprints this season - highlighting the value of the form.
Lend A Hand has a touch of class and can follow up.
French Lieutenant can lose his maiden tag in the Britannia Stakes that closes the day's racing.
Gerard Butler's charge may not yet have won a race but he has shown enough talent to suggest he can compete in this class.
The colt ran a cracker on his seasonal debut at Newmarket in May, staying on strongly to finish sixth behind Rayyaan in a competitive contest.
Made favourite for a seven-runner classified stakes at Goodwood last time, he found the useful four-year-old Black Silk a length too good but had good performers Silk St John and Chewit behind him.
A strong pace over this straight mile should suit him down to the ground and he can go close at a nice price.
Baldaquin looks the answer to the equally-tricky King George V Stakes.
John Gosden's hope made his debut in the Wood Ditton Stakes, catching the eye despite showing signs of temperament and finishing 15th of the 21 runners.
A very tardy start saw him finish only fourth in a Redcar maiden on his next run but he had got his act together on his last outing at Goodwood where he cruised to victory over Speed Venture.
Stepped up to 12 furlongs here, this progressive type looks nicely handicapped.
