In depth
Verdict
Code Red was green here on debut but Gleaming Princess looks up against it in this grade and Aussie Ruler has been slipping down the grades lately without looking like reproducing his best form. Colour Catcher and Fast Dancer have been knocking on the door, however, while Quintus Cerialis looks to be improving. WONDER OF QATAR has started favourite in two of his three starts. His second to Good Contact at Leicester last month was a solid effort and he's given another chance to recoup losses.
