Verdict
Several have form in Group races including Queen Mary third Beautiful Diamond, who subsequently ran well in the Lowther Stakes over 6f at York. Toca Madera has placed over the latter distance in a Group 2 at Newmarket but PUROSANGUE went close over today’s trip in the Molecomb at Goodwood before finishing in front of Mon Na Slieve when runner-up again at York so Andrew Balding’s colt may edge this. Dual Beverley winner Bombay Bazaar is preferred of the rest.
