        Verdict

        EMIRATES CURRENCY has the form in the book having been beaten less than a length by a Ballydoyle raider at Chelmsford. Clive Cox’ colt should go close again with any further progress. Striking Approach may find this easier than when fourth at Newmarket on his introduction and is preferred to The Weed Machine but a newcomer could prove a bigger threat with Vottoria Light making most appeal. The Godolphin colt is a first foal of a winner in France while Liberation Point is a half-brother to a couple of winners and preferred to Amazing News and Lethal Shadow.
