Verdict
This looks open but FREE SOLO has gone well on all three starts since joining the Murphy team and a repeat of his recent runner-up effort at the Galway festival should see him in the mix. He is at his best when ridden prominently though and the key for Oisin Murphy will be to try and obtain such a position from what is not the ideal draw. This does temper confidence somewhat but he should still go well. Carracci has reacted well since being well beaten at Royal Ascot and subsequent runner-up efforts put him in here with strong claims, although he too has been done no favours with the draw. Verhoyen and Kings Time also have double digit boxes to overcome, whereas the likes of Monaasib, Coins Cross and Timeless Soul will look to benefit from being better berthed.
