Verdict

The Uruguay-trained Quality Boone has been in excellent form here and was staying on strongly in the UAE 2000 Guineas over a mile despite having a southern-hemisphere penalty to carry, as he does here. BENDOOG (NAP), who finished just behind in the classic, chased a ferocious pace that day and was done with a furlong out but Tadhg O'Shea may hang on to him a bit longer this time. Conglomerate never got into it and Mujeer was well beaten but Withering, who had been well beaten behind Bendoog over a mile earlier, came out next time and won convincingly over this trip with Secret Image and Violent Justice in the minor places. Get Back Goldie, a winner over a mile at Santa Anita, did well to score over 6f on his debut here and looks a major threat.
