Verdict

Andrew Balding has had a mixed week but FOX TAL can get him back on the scoresheet. He did nothing but improve as a 3yo and his fourth to Magical is an excellent piece of form. Better still, he seems to go on most ground, so even if the rain does come, he should be fine. Sir Dragonet, on the other hand, needs the rain and plenty of it if he's to show his best, whilst the classy Regal Reality needs it to stay away. The John Gosden pair of Dubai Warrior and Crossed Baton are both worthy of consideration and for those looking for the turn-up, if the rain came you could give Forest Ranger a squeak.
