Verdict
Drogon has been gelded since a couple of shocking performances in the spring but has a lot to prove now. House Of Kings hasn’t been beaten far the last twice but wouldn’t want any rain. Ginger Fox is consistent but is getting no help from the handicapper and Barossa Red was a beaten favourite twice on the all-weather in the spring and hasn’t raced since April. BRING US PARADISE is much improved this year and looks capable of completing his hat-trick, despite a further 6lb rise. Goodwood second Hawridge Storm looks best of the rest.
