Verdict
Just one favourite has won this in the last 10 renewals so punters beware. Kool Henry made all and just held on at Newcastle where the soft ground was a help and he's well enough treated to take some catching. Profile Star appeared to resent the blinkers in a better race here after scoring at Thirsk while Rent Free will find this less daunting than taking on Frederick Engels in the Windsor Castle Stakes. LAST BID was a couple of lengths behind Kool Henry at Beverley in May and is worse off at the weights but she was very badly drawn that day and has improved enough to take this as shown with a comfortable subsequent success at Ripon.
