Verdict

A disappointingly small field go to post for this classy group contest in which SHINE SO BRIGHT can add another Group 2 to his CV. The manner of his win at York and the rivals behind him was eye-catching and was arguably not ridden to his strengths last time out. The progressive sort looks the one to beat. Limato has to be respected, especially with his wins in this contest but it is well-known he needs faster ground and the same can be said for Mustashry, who may find this trip too sharp. Claims can be made for Oh This Is Us, who is usually in good heart at this time of the year.
