In depth
Verdict
An uncompetitive race that should take little winning and it will be surprising if the TEAMtalk preference, Finger Of Fate, does not prevail. Sir Michael Stoute's charge has progressed with experience and looked sure to land a similar event over a mile at Wolverhampton last time before being worn down in the final stride. The drop down in trip will suit and this well-bred son of Machiavellian should prove too strong for main market rival, Prima Patrona. The latter has shown a fair level of ability and is no doubt capable of further progress but looks one-paced at this trip and may have to settle for minor honours on this occasion. High-Street has been off the track for almost two months but is entitled to improve on a fair debut effort and can reach a place.
