      Verdict

      Stratum beat Reshoun in the Queen Alexandra at Royal Ascot in June and has limitless stamina. William Buick partners Willie Mullins’ raider but, with the arrival of the rains, TRUESHAN can be unleashed again and Alan King’s top-class stayer shouldn’t be troubled to see these off. He had Coltrane behind when a close-up third in the Goodwood Cup last time and Island Brave was beaten a long way when the selection defied a huge weight to land the Northumberland Plate at Newcastle earlier. Get Shirty has had a terrific season but has 14lb to find with the selection on official ratings.
