Most Ahdaf has the best morning line odds at 5 to 2, while two others are close at 3 to 1. Most Ahdaf won for the first time in 2023 at the Neom Turf Cup on February 25 in Saudi Arabia then in Dubai finished fourth on March 25. Following nearly three months off, he won in England then added another victory on August 23 at York. Most Ahdaf will be hard to beat on Saturday.

Auguste Rodin, who is currently 3 to 1, will be ridden by Ryan Moore with Aidan P. O’Brien the trainer. Expectations from the start have been high for this thoroughbred since a season debut on May 6 that ended in disappointment with a 12th place finish. Just a month later he won by a half-length, then won a dual Derby with victories in the English/Irish Derby when defeating Adelaide River on July 2.
