Verdict
Three Majors has been beaten off a higher mark since winning here earlier in the month when ahead of several of these. HES OUR MUSIC was runner-up with Lady Rosebud and Vanderbilt not far away but the former was winning off a much higher mark over course and distance at this time last year and it could be his turn once again. Alfirak remains unexposed and returns to a mile having placed over 7f here last week while Fastidious has something to prove over today’s distance given all five wins to date came over 7f.
