Verdict

The Joseph O'Brien-trained SPEAK IN COLOURS can land his third C&D win from four starts over the combination in this competitive Group 3 contest. The four-year-old finished fourth of 17 beaten 3½L behind Blue Point at Royal Ascot and can hold off the attentions of Phoenix Sprint Stakes winner Gustavus Weston who can emerge as the biggest danger. British raider, the David O'Meara-trained Perfection in the colours of Cheveley Park Stud and the popular veteran Gordon Lord Byron can battle for remaining prize money.
