Although OMBUDSMAN was beaten by Delacroix in the Eclipse it was a quick turnaround for Godolphin's charge after his big performance in the Prince of Wales's and he re-established himself as the one to beat in this division when readily seeing off the same rival at York. Aidan O'Brien's charge has won well at Leopardstown since but it could still be that the chief threat emerges from last year's runner-up Calandagan, who showed a sharp turn of foot to win the King George here in July.
