Verdict
VIVID BLUE found only one too good on her debut over 6f at Newmarket last month. She looks to have the strongest form and will have no problem with the extra furlong here. Stablemate Fast Or Free has a bit of improving to do to, but Oblitereight has shown enough in a couple of placed efforts on the Polytrack to suggest he can go close. Galician, Safari Sunseeker, Saaboog and Panettone are others open to improvement, while Solar Deity makes most appeal of the newcomers.
