Verdict

A pair of interesting Godolphin runners returning to action, the market will be key in assessing them. LEADER'S LEGACY ran well in the Britannia at Royal Ascot last summer and could be up to this on return, with his yard in fine form. Valcartier is well up to challenging off this rating, though might find prominent tactics undermined by Celebration Day. C&D winner Swift Emperor should bounce back from a poor run on turf recently.
