In depth
Verdict
Sir Michael Stoute has just one runner in action today and Ryan Moore rides SOVEREIGN GRANT. The Queen’s colt was last seen winning a Kempton maiden in effortless fashion in October 2018 but it’s worth taking a chance on his fitness as that race has produced a host of subsequent winners. Godhead and Healing Power both remains unexposed as well with the latter already a course and distance winner. Gallipoli got back to winning ways at Newcastle in February and Richard Fahey also runs Knowing Glance, who is on a hat-trick. Lincoln Park is preferred to Klute of the others.
