Verdict

Unsurprisingly claims can be made for a host including STURLASSON, who ran a cracker when chasing home another upwardly mobile sort in the 3-y-o "Dash" at Epsom at the start of the month and, again partnered by Oisin Murphy, he very much appeals as the type who could raise his game further still. The thriving Kendall Roy, potentially well-handicapped Lethal Nymph and last year's winner Harry's Hill are others to consider. Little Queenie is another worth a second look.
