Verdict
Modern News has been gelded but hasn’t raced since beaten by Twaasol on better terms in last year’s Woodcote at Epsom. The latter had a recent second behind Star Of Orion here franked when the winner was just beaten in a valuable handicap at Ascot last week. Existent hasn’t been beaten far in either start this year but FINAL WATCH is a really progressive gelding and unbeaten in two runs at HQ. Reunited with Hollie Doyle, the latter can beat rivals from powerful stables including Great News, who is back over his winning trip.
