        Verdict

        Western Hymn bids to repeat last year’s success but is penalised 5lb this time round having won the Group 3 Ormonde Stakes at Chester back in May. Connecticut will likely improve on only his second start since 2015 but will need to given he finished a long way behind BEST OF DAYS (NAP) at Newmarket last time. The latter finished third to stablemate Frontiersman, rated 117, on that occasion and should go close today with a similar effort. Dylan Mouth finally won outside of Italy when scoring at Haydock earlier but it was business as usual when well beaten in the Arc Trial at Newbury on his latest start but Red Verdon and Soldier In Action are others with a shout at the weights, though need to step up on recent form to figure.
