In depth

Verdict

Smokey Bear won on good going here before going in again at Kempton but has yet to encounter testing ground. But it was soft when VISIBLE CHARM went close over 7f in a decent handicap at Newmarket a fortnight ago and the return to today’s shorter trip won’t be a problem for the Godolphin charge. Apollinaire was still well beaten when runner-up at Chester and Shammah’s recent narrow-margin defeat here came over the minimum trip. Indian Creak landed a nursery at Goodwood earlier but remains 9lb higher.
