In depth

Verdict

Group One Power has improved with every run and is meeting Arthurian Fable on better terms than when finishing just ahead of that one in the King George V Stakes at Ascot. Grand Bazaar easily justified favouritism at Windsor but the runner-up let the form down at Haydock last week. Spectrum Of Light is a progressive type who won over 1m2f on the Rowley Mile here three weeks ago but EASTERN SHERIFF has a similar profile and proved he handled ground with some give when making a winning start on Turf at Ripon. Wise Glory could be nicely handicapped but this is a very competitive opener.
