        Verdict

        Morando won the 2019 renewal when beating a Ballydoyle favourite and Aidan O’Brien sends over Japan this time. The latter drops down in class and is upped in distance though failed to win last year and TRUESHAN is the more progressive. Alan King’s charge won three times last season, including a victory in the Group 2 Long Distance Cup at Ascot, and had beaten Withhold over today’s trip at Salisbury before that. Sonnyboyliston travels over from Ireland having won handicaps over 1m2f last term while a rejuvenated Euchen Glen was in fine form in 2020 and has a recent outing under his belt.
