In depth
Verdict
Dawn Invasion is lightly raced and is open to improvement, but he will need to win this if he is to take his place in the Great Voltigeur Stakes. Distinction, looked ready for a step up in trip, when found wanting for a turn of foot at Newmarket. He is open to any amount of improvement and is taken to land this en route to better things. Honour Rouge is progressing well and will have the assistance of Mick Kinane, so he is worthy of respect, while the unexposed Sentinel, faces his stiffest task to date, but he knows how to win and is another with a serious chance. Total Turtle, who may find the ground a shade on the fast side, Waverley who is 6lb higher for his win at York and Oldenway are others to consider.
