Verdict
The 2021 winner Vadream was well beaten in this last year behind third-placed COMMANCHE FALLS. The latter beat Juan Les Pins at York last month and Annaf in a Group 3 sprint at Newbury earlier. The latter won the Portland back in handicap company at Doncaster last time with Happy Romance behind while Garrus beat the selection at Newmarket back in April but has failed to reproduce that form subsequently. Pink Crystal landed a Listed race at Ayr recently and progressive handicapper Dark Trooper is upped in class.
