In depth
Verdict
SUN'AQ was outclassed in a Group 3 at the Curragh last time but had gone close on a couple of occasions before that and this looks easier. Art Collection is upped in class off a 5lb higher mark after scoring at Windsor while Strands Of Silk finished last off today's mark at Catterick having won at Newcastle earlier. Fashionable Spirit is getting no closer despite sliding down the weights but course and distance winner Misu Moneypenny is not out of this off her current mark.
