Verdict

EXPERT EYE looked a superstar in the making at Goodwood given his high cruising speed and the devastating turn of foot he unleashed to put his rivals, including Seahenge, in their place. The main concern would the stable's form as they have uncharacteristically drawn a blank over the past fortnight. Seahenge failed to handle the track at Goodwood and there was no fluke about his victory in the Champagne Stakes last month. At the ante-post prices U S Navy Flag as an each-way proposition looks a good call given his performance in the Middle Park and his yard's record in this. Emaraaty and Threeandfourpence are exciting prospects based on pedigree and the likelihood of better to come.
