In depth
Verdict
Gift Horse is the most exposed but has yet to finish out of the frame and she seems certain to give supporters a run for their money again. Corazon was very green at Wolverhampton but will have come on a bundle for the experience, though WILLOUGHBY BAY also showed signs of inexperience at Goodwood and should enjoy this quicker surface. Hatshepsut didn’t improve on his second start, however, while Aye Catcher has been off the track since March.
