Do not oppose Kayf Tara in today's Gold Cup at Royal Ascot. Godolphin's hope, winner 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 last year, 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 he returned to action at York last month and produced a top-class performance.
Michael Kinane is a more-than-able deputy for the injured Frankie Dettori 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.
French Lieutenant can lose his maiden tag in the Britannia Stakes while Baldaquin, a winner last time out at Goodwood, looks the answer to the equally-tricky King George V Stakes.
