Something was clearly amiss with OUZO at Ascot and Saffie Osborne eased him right down in the closing stages. He’d earlier just come up short over track and trip on his first start for new connections so gets another chance. Sinjaari was fifth in the Royal Hunt Cup after finishing third at Newbury and will enjoy this stiff mile but Mostawaa needs forgiving a poor run at York when well behind subsequent winner Lion Tower. Blinkers might improve Tahitian Prince and Flyin' High has been getting closer with Escobar and Darkness possibly the pick of the remainder, though Checkandchallenge’s first defeat came in the 2000 Guineas.
