BECKFORD can register his first victory at the highest level by taking a competitive renewal of this Group 1 contest. Gordon Elliott's charge had looked a horse to follow when winning twice earlier this year and with the step up to 7f likely to suit he can get the better of Gustav Klimt who was successful over this trip last time out and hails from the powerful Aidan O'Brien stable. Verbal Dexterity is taken to claim third here on his return to this trip and first outing at this level.
