Verdict

Anyone who finds the winner of this should be set up for a successful day as it looks to be a wide-open betting heat. There are five three-year-olds headed by Royal Ascot winner Fennell Bay and Newmarket scorer Expert Fighter while Silver Lime comes here off the back of a narrow victory at Goodwood and is very lightly raced. Silvery Moon and John Biscuit are among the more consistent older horses and should also be thereabouts again along with Tropical Beat, Rio's Rosanna and Tepmokea. Bridle Belle is certainly capable of her current mark but WARLU WAY has plenty in his favour here and can give John Dunlop a welcome boost. He loves fast ground and would have got a lot closer at Ascot last month had he not been forced wide off the final bend.
