Verdict

Ralph Beckett saddled Jimi Hendrix to win this race last year and QUANTUM IMPACT is taken to follow in his stablemate's footsteps. The Invincible Spirit colt landed a good York handicap in May and subsequently shaped far better than the bare result at Royal Ascot, leaving the impression that his mark will be well within reach. The unexposed Royal Dubai and progressive types Tafreej and Havana Blue are greatly respected, while Sniper's Eye will be another big player if taking his chance.
