Verdict

Bath winner Rathaath wasn't beaten far at Goodwood next time, despite only finishing 10th. Chelmsford runner-up Doctor Sardonicus would have every chance if translating that form to Turf. Munfallet isn't out of this and Noble Storm is running well and would be another for the short-list. Taajub is a course and distance winner and has been a lot more consistent lately but we'll take a chance on PERFECT MUSE. She never figured last time at Goodwood when all the action took place in the centre of the track but was running well off higher marks earlier and will handle the ground better than most. Rio Ronaldo may find this company too hot.
