    In depth

    Verdict

    UK raiders have won nine of the last 10 renewals with Rae Guest’s Mirza winning it twice before. But CITY LIGHTS can prove a rare winner for the home sprinters this year given he beat Muthmir over track and trip back in May and has subsequently gone very close in the Group 1 Diamond Jubilee at Ascot. Spoof looks to have a bit to find in this grade though finished in front of Fashion Queen at York last month and the latter was also beaten by Coco City at Deauville in July while Tantheem drops back in trip after landing a Group 3 sprint in soft ground over 6f last time.
