In depth
Verdict
Rux Power returns to action having gone close at Goodwood when last seen at the track in August. But the form hasn’t worked out particularly well so another chance goes to WHITE COAT. He sports a tongue-tie and cheekpieces today having failed to land the odds for the second time in succession but was beaten only a nose here last time and is taken to overcome a wide draw. Creek Island disappointed at Southwell recently but better is expected on this surface while Highest Mountain was sent to France for his debut and wasn’t disgraced on the all-weather at Chantilly. Global Gift cost €200,000 as a yearling and is a newcomer to note.
