In depth

Verdict

This could be the one and only running of this if order is restored by next year. Collide justified strong market support at Chelmsford last week and won at Cagnes-Sur-Mer in February but has a penalty to carry. Neither Alright Sunshine nor Shailene were disgraced reappearing in Group 3 company. Hereby has a terrific strike-rate and would be interesting if getting a run from her reserve spot while it would be unusual if Mark Johnston hadn’t targeted this unexpected opportunity and Hochfeld returns from a lengthy absence on a very attractive mark. FUJAIRA PRINCE (NAP) won first-time out last season and in 2018 so fitness is unlikely to be an issue. He was a shade unlucky in the Duke Of Edinburgh Stakes here last year and can race off the same mark.
