In depth

Verdict

Irish Legend and Pied Piper struggled in the same race when upped in class at Goodwood last month but both ran much better on their previous outings and are not out of this. Ryan Moore has just the one ride at this evening’s meeting and ZIKANY (NAP) is taken to make it a winning one. Sir Michael Stoute’s colt was returning from a short lay-off when going close at Salisbury and there looks more to come from him. Tribal Art finished ahead of Marching Army at Goodwood though neither figured in the finish while King Of Tsavo and Choritzo have something to prove over this far.
