In depth
Verdict
WASHINGTON DC, a dual Listed winner and runner-up in the Group 1 Phoenix Stakes, was nowhere near his best at Ascot last month and entries in all the big sprints suggest he's highly regarded. He's taken to bounce back as stablemate Waterloo Bridge has a Group 2 penalty for his victory in the Norfolk Stakes. The latter was beaten almost 2l by Most Beautiful when conceding 5lb here last May and the winner can confirm the form on the revised terms. She also holds Only Mine on their 1-2 in a Group 3 at the Curragh in June while Juliette Fair hails from a yard in top form and her comeback run on very heavy going at Leopardstown is best ignored.
