Verdict

A couple of these stand out with Bernardo O'Reilly representing last year’s winning yard and going close over 6f at Newbury last week. But FARHH TO SHY was beaten only a short-head over course and distance attempting to win for the third time this year and George Margarson’s filly looks the one to side with. Taawfan and Roman Dynasty need to find a bit more as both drop further down the weights while Ryan Moore partners Areehaa and the unexposed Dandys Derrier makes a belated seasonal debut.
