Verdict
Wesley Ward trained last year’s winner and bids to win this for the fifth time. TWILIGHT GLEAMING bolted up on the Turf at Belmont last month and is preferred to compatriot and Churchill Downs winner Artos, who is partnered by Frankie Dettori today. Yet is fitted with a tongue-tie having made a winning debut at Dundalk with Orinoco River beaten a neck while Quick Suzy drops back down in trip after finishing runner-up in Group 3 company at Naas. Nymphadora beat Crazyland and Mas Poder when landing a Listed race at York but was beaten by Desert Dreamer at Newmarket before that while Get Ahead had the measure of Eve Lodge when winning over track and trip last month. Illustrating had Misty Ayr back in third when successful at Catterick on her debut and has plenty of scope.
