In depth

Verdict

AMANZOE bids for a hat-trick having coped well with the step up to today’s trip when scoring at Sandown. There looks more to come from the Haggas filly but Adjourn finished ahead of Carolus Magnus when successful at Doncaster and is another on the upgrade. Value Theory ran well for third at Goodwood last time but Blenheim Boy steps up in trip after placing at York and HMS President’s earlier success at Goodwood came over a longer trip.
