Previous results

In depth

Verdict

Aidan O'Brien has three entries. The newcomer Sir Perceval is related to a host of winners though will probably do better when tackling further. SOUTH PACIFIC couldn't quite match strides with the well supported Giga White here last month but that looked a strong maiden and the form is starting to work out. Western Australia caught the eye in that latter event and though beaten 7l should get closer. Boston Bruin attracted good support over 6f at the Curragh in June and was only beaten narrowly into fourth so normal progress should see him in the firing-line and he looks better at this stage than stable companion Claim The Lady. Zarafshan is bred for middle-distances and one to note for the future.
