Verdict
Tegan bids for her hat-trick after a couple of wins on the turf. She should go close despite a 7lb rise, but GOLESTAN PALACE is just preferred. He's finished runner-up on his last two starts and, with the winners of both races having scored again since, the form looks pretty strong. Corvette has claims if at her best but is not the most reliable, while Ministry went close over C&D in June and gets blinkers applied for the first-time today. Rather Cool scored over a shorter trip at Newbury last month but this is tougher.
