      Verdict

      ADAAY couldn't live with The Wow Signal in the Coventry at Ascot but wasn't beaten that far despite finishing only eighth. He gets the vote just ahead of Limato. The latter remains unbeaten after landing both starts on the Polytrack while Step To The Shears continued his winning run with success at Salisbury last month. Cotai Glory has a much tougher task after winning a Bath maiden race but Fast Romance could have been found an easier opportunity so is presumably capable of better than she showed on her debut at this track.
