Verdict
Mark Johnston runs three with Ryan Moore’s presence suggesting Brighton winner Governor Of Punjab has the best chance, though Fred is not out of this either. Full Verse landed the odds over a slightly shorter trip at Doncaster last time but another Godolphin runner in PICTURE FRAME is preferred. The latter returned an impressive wide-margin winner when stepped up to today’s trip at Newbury and more is expected from Saeed bin Suroor’s filly now handicapping. A winner over 6f, Toro Strike represents last year’s winning yard and is preferred to Stone Circle and When Comes Here while Indian Creak won a maiden over today’s trip at Epsom in good style last month and Rich Belief is another successful over 7f.
