        Verdict

        Khaloosy has returned a beaten favourite in both starts in Group 3 company and drops back down in trip. But there was cut in the ground when HAPPY POWER landed the Group 3 Supreme Stakes over today’s trip at Goodwood in August and he’s taken to confirm running with Snazzy Jazzy and go in again. Last year’s Rockfel Stakes winner Daahyeh makes a belated reappearance while Zakouski won a Group 2 at Meydan when last in action and is preferred to stablemate Glorious Journey. Pogo struggled at York last time under Ryan Moore, who switches to the German Group 3 winner Namos, while Foxtrot Lady faces tougher opposition after winning the Sceptre Stakes at Doncaster.
