In depth

Verdict

With Respect made a winning debut in testing ground at Newbury last year and is partnered by Oisin Murphy on his return. THE PERFECT CROWN hasn’t raced since February but finished third in a Listed race over track and trip on that occasion having earlier romped home by a wide-margin at Chelmsford. Rated 96, Archie Watson’s colt is the one to beat in this. The more exposed Aroha has a shout on these terms but was a beaten favourite at Catterick on her reappearance while Miss Mulligan and Rocky Dreams look the most likely improvers of the remainder.
