Verdict
The experience of Run To Freedom, second here last time, and Aviary will stand them in good stead but they don’t set an exacting standard. HIGHLAND AVENUE has drawn the inside berth and it will be a surprise if the Godolphin newcomer can’t secure a prominent position before the turn given the Dubawi colt is the first foal to race of Cheveley Park winner Lumiere. Epic Pass is by Irish 2000 Guineas winner Awtaad out of a Listed winner and will probably know his job so can’t be ignored.
