Verdict

A typically competitive three-year-old handicap, with the top-weight YACOWLEF fancied to go one the better than when an excellent second over 6f here at the Craven Meeting. Godolphin's regally-bred Striking Star has the pedigree to prove much better than his opening mark and rates as a major threat, with Choisya, Chartwell House and Prospering others to consider.

  1. YACOWLEF (IRE)

  3. CHOISYA
