In depth
Verdict
THE DALEY EXPRESS, one of three course and distance winners in the line-up, went very close at Windsor 11 days ago and is now only a pound higher than when successful here in the spring. From the inside draw, Ron Harris’ charge might take all the beating. Just Glamorous is speedy but would have preferred an easier surface but Epsom winner Harrogate has his ground and Foxy Forever is consistent, despite advancing years. Rose Hip is probably still improving but this will be her first try in the grade and she only had two rivals here last month.
