Verdict
Wonderful Times returned a beaten favourite once again when only third at Yarmouth and cheekpieces are applied. She’s taken on with JEAN DANJOU, who was beaten only a neck at Goodwood on his debut by a winner now rated 86 and Brian Meehan’s charge gets the vote. Dungeon, Rose Light and the Godolphin representative Alnilam all step up in trip while Caruso drops down in distance on the back of a moderate debut effort at Kempton.
