In depth
Verdict
GOLD ARCH left previous form behind when making a winning reappearance at Wolverhampton. He’s 5lb higher here but should still be thereabouts if translating that form to Turf. Hen was third at Wolverhampton and has since placed again at that track but is a little exposed. Junior Rip looks held on collateral form but Queen's Soldier was placed over 1m2f at Goodwood last time, though well beaten over a longer trip earlier at Wolverhampton. Another Approach and Catch The Cuban look the pick of the remainder.
