      Verdict

      Accidental Agent, surprise winner of the Queen Anne at Ascot in June, was slowly away and never figured in the Prix Jacques le Marois at Deauville last month but this is a significantly easier assignment, despite his Group 1 penalty. Mustashry has a penalty for winning a Group 2 at Doncaster earlier this month but has been in good form this year and won’t go down without a fight. However, Sir Michael Stoute also runs the three-year-old REGAL REALITY (NAP) and he is less exposed than his rivals. After beating a subsequent winner in a Group 3 at Goodwood, the Intello colt didn’t enjoy the heavy going at Haydock last time and should have more to offer. Zonderland retains plenty of ability but hasn’t won for a while and drying ground won’t help Zabeel Prince
