      Verdict

      Epsom winner Cape Islay returned to form when runner-up to Prefontaine over the track and trip last time though the winner didn’t enhance the form next time. FOX FEARLESS is stoutly-bred and looked certain to be suited by further when staying on over a mile at Lingfield so he looks the one to be on. Murray River didn’t run as well as expected over the trip at Chelmsford but Blissful Beauty looks a threat after a very good run over this trip at Deauville.
