Verdict

SUNDAY SOVEREIGN arrives with a pair of wins under his belt and the form of his Curragh maiden success looks all the stronger after Arizona's win in Tuesday's Coventry Stakes. There are several live contenders from the remainder including the well bred Mount Fuji who stuck to his task to win well on debut and Misty Grey who is another with experience and is unlikely to be fazed by the drop back in trip given the speed he showed at Epsom last time.
  1. Sunday Sovereign
  2. Mount Fuji
  3. Misty Grey
