In depth
Verdict
Robert Cowell has a strong hand with Green Door and GOLDREAM with preference for the latter providing the ground turns no softer. He's been racing at a very high level all summer and his second place in the Group 2 Temple Stakes at Haydock looks the best form on offer. His stable companion hasn't been in the best of form lately while Vibrant Chords has gone up in the ratings without winning. Soie D'leau won on heavy going here last month but looked anchored by his penalty at Haydock subsequently so the main threat may emerge in the shape of Jumira Bridge, who just failed to catch Equimou in a similar-class race at Yarmouth and is only 1lb higher. Just Glamorous had shown absolutely nothing for a long time before making all in a Listed contest at Ascot for which he's been raised 7lb.
