Verdict

WEST END CHARMER showed improved form at Windsor when returning a clear winner over a mile. Mark Johnston’s colt should make another bold bid despite a penalty if seeing out this longer trip. Accredited looks next best of those with racecourse experience though has yet to threaten and one of the newcomers may prove a bigger danger. Of those, the 130,000 euros purchase Edinburgh Castle is related to three winners and Durston can include the Group 3 winner Cubanita among four winning relatives.
