In depth
Verdict
Count Otto wasn’t disgraced in a better race at Ascot after seconds at Newmarket and Epsom but is still 4lb higher than when last successful. Jumira Bridge has produced only one poor run since reverting to the Turf and Oeil De Tigre can almost be guaranteed to run his race but LITTLE BOY BLUE is also a course and distance winner and Bill Turner’s grey can get back on track dropped in trip. Mountain Peak is preferred to Shamshon and Walk On Walter of the others.
