Verdict
Neither Swing Out Sister nor Time For Wine would be winning out of turn here. The latter looks to have a nice draw in stall four whereas WAFEER starts out in the centre of the track. But it’s interesting that Richard Hannon drops his charge back to the minimum after runs over 6f and 7f and his ability to stay further should be asset on this stiff track. Cardaw Lily ran well over this trip at Ascot in May but Mother of Dragons is fully exposed. Gaelic Spirit may be the pick of the remainder.
