        Verdict

        Wotashirtful is given a narrow vote here ahead of Sophie's Girl and Foreign Rhythm. Kevin Ryan's colt has done little wrong in three races to date on varied ground. He looks to have been found a decent opening here to lose his maiden tag. Sophie's Girl is from a yard housing some very decent juveniles and has to be respected having contested the Albany Stakes at Royal Ascot last time out. Foreign Rhythm has found one too good in her three starts to date. The winners have been fairly decent but she may again find one or two too good. Know No Fear has similar claims and he could be in there fighting for a place, however the more likely winner for us is Wotashirtful.
