In depth
Verdict
Blithe gets the confident vote here with Farley Star and Queen Noverre rating the main dangers. The selection was a disappointing fourth behind White Deer last time out at Epsom but she did not appear to handle the track and with this more galloping track likely to bring about more improvement she will be hard to beat. Farley Star rates the main danger on his debut third behind Guaccarmole, he is sure to improve and should be noted in the market. Queen Noverre was a fair third behind Sacre Coeur last time but gave the impression he would be suited by a longer trip in time. Of the remainder Fiumicino is a well bred type and should be noted in the market but for the winner we return to Blithe.
