Verdict

There are a couple of unknown quantities here but the horse with the best form is Racing Post Trophy fourth RAHEEN HOUSE. It may not be the strongest Group 1 that he ran well in but he has also managed to separate Shutter Speed and Enable, two fillies fancies for European Classics, at a race at Newbury last time and this looks to be a more realistic level for him to notch up a second career win. He is preferred to Monarchs Glen, who simply didn't give his true running last time on the basis of racing too keenly in the early stages, but now has headgear to assist, while Khalidi, beaten by Permian at Newmarket last time, is also one to note.
  1. Raheen House
  2. Monarchs Glen
