Verdict
SCEPTIC arrives into this contest particularly lightly raced and the three-year-old could make a hefty weight allowance pay against his elders. Indemnify has a first start for Alice Haynes having left Roger Varian and the grey did so off the back of a win at this course in May. Perotto was a hot favourite for the Royal Hunt Cup and will need to reverse form with Ouzo on that Royal Ascot run. Silent Film finished eighth in the Buckingham Palace and that was no mean effort given he was attempting to give lumps of weight away. Dutch Decoy went close last time out and won’t be far away today.
