        Verdict

        Speed Cop may be the answer to another tricky race for punters to call and she gets the vote ahead of Continent and Russian Valour. The selection was not beaten far when 9th behind Atlantic Viking in a blanket finish at Epsom last time. She is a consistent sort with plenty of speed and at the likely odds she could be the value in the race. Continent has got an obvious chance as he met trouble in running when beaten in a better race than this last time, but he had previously shown a good level of form to defeat Bishops Court and it will be a surprise if he is once again not in the frame here. Russian Valour won the Group 3 Norfolk Stakes at Ascot, and although he has since been a little disappointing, he is dropped in grade here and has to be respected. Dragon Flyer is another that has plenty of ability, but he may just find a couple too good in this grade and for the winner we return to Speed Cop.
