Verdict

A typically competitive handicap and one where WASHINGTON HEIGHTS (NAP) may be capable of getting his revenge upon Quinault having seen his old rival overhaul him in the shadows of the post at York. Eminency was fourth on that occasion and Clive Cox reaches for the cheekpieces this afternoon. Frankness didn’t get the clearest of runs at Ascot last time out and the handicapper sensibly does not penalise him for that effort. His stablemate Desert Cop having kept on stoically in the King's Stand’s Stakes in a race where he got too far behind in the early stages. Mill Stream ran in the Acomb Stakes last year and he remains very much an unexposed quantity in the context of this race.
