Verdict

Connections of the more fancied horses will be hoping The Rectifier or Julienas set a proper pace. PREMIO LOCO didn't get that when behind Fanunalter and Mac Love at Epsom last time, but his previous third to Canford Cliffs in the Lockinge showed his true ability and Chris Wall's charge is given another chance here. Emerald Commander looks to head Godolphin's three-pronged challenge after his cosy win in Listed company at Pontefract, but bigger threats to the selection could come from Beacon Lodge and Side Glance, who were both placed in Group 2 races on their latest starts and look to have solid claims.
