John Gosden, who trains with his son Thady, said, “They traveled well, ate well and drank well and in that sense I couldn’t be more pleased. They had fun on the track this morning; they jog and then have a solid canter.
“Mishriff is a horse that has suffered the deep and heavy marks you get at the end of the year. He tried so hard in the Arc, but he can’t walk on that ground and it’s going to be different here, because we’re going to have to move fast, which is what he wants.
“Frankie” [Dettori] I’ve been talking about coming here all year, because he thought a mile and a half on an easy stretch would suit the horse. I’m a bit concerned what will happen if he slowly leaves, if that happens he could pay the price but he has broken well in his last two games.
“I think the only race away from him is Eclipse, where if he gets the green he wins. I’m happy with his run in the Irish Championship where he’s a bit far from his field, but look at him he’s a tough cookie and a 5 year old full pony that loves to play . He loves to travel and he loves new environments, remember he’s been to Saudi Arabia three times.”

“I am also very happy with Nashwa, who we decided after Diane waited and gave her a break before Nassau and then a gap to the Theatre, in which she ran a race. good from a terrible draw,” he said. “She’s in good shape, looks great in a coat and has Hollie on board, who is the first lady driving the win. [European] Classic and a very talented female knight who reminds me of Julie Krone with that high determination. “
