Verdict

SCARLET DRAGON has twice run well on ground with some give, finishing well ahead of subsequent Brighton winner Goodwood Zodiac at Goodwood in July. Tom Marquand's claim is a bonus and the top weight can get the better of recent winner Show Legend. Hope Cove, Guanabara Bay and Simple Attack are others who will handle the conditions and rate the biggest dangers.
