The Mile could be the most contentious on the card. Makfi, the 2000 Guineas winner, beat both Goldikova and Paco Boy at Deauville today on very soft ground and his ultimate objective is the Mile as well. We don't know if Makfi's contemporaries Canford Cliffs and Dick Turpin, who have beaten him previously, are pointing toward the Mile, but if either comes it could be a barnburner. Dick Turpin is trying 10f on Tuesday at York and if he runs well, he may go the Irish Champion/Champion S (at Newmarket) route instead.
