Verdict

This looks anybody's race. Stock Hill Fair won nicely at Newmarket last time and Echo Brava returned a ready winner at Epsom. Both step up in trip today while Faithful Mount is upped in class after winning over today's trip at Salisbury. Cool Sky scored on soft ground at Nottingham last time and the consistent Precision Five ran well again when beaten only a nose at Brighton. A Greater Force is one to note on his debut for a new yard having landed a maiden for Ballydoyle at Roscommon last term but the speculative vote goes to SAGACIOUSLY. Ed Dunlop's filly was beaten only a nose in this grade at Newmarket and has plenty of scope as she tackles today's longer distance for the first time.
