In depth
Verdict
El Vip proved a big disappointment when favourite at Haydock last time. Though it’s too soon to write off Luca Cumani’s colt, PRYING PANDORA is still preferred after she won over track and trip last time with a bit in hand. Richard Fahey’s filly also makes more appeal than recent Redcar winner Torrid but Moonlightnavigator can race off the same mark as when placed at Newmarket last time and has a shout. Chestnut Fire could go well back at this level after a struggling at Ascot last time.
