Verdict
DUBAWI LEGEND attracted strong support at Doncaster and was never in any danger so gets the nod. Noble Truth showed the benefit of his opening run to beat Ehraz comfortably at HQ and the latter enhanced the form with a convincing victory at Ascot so there should be nothing between them. Andrew Balding's horses continue in brilliant form and Imperial Fighter could do no more than win readily at Goodwood. Royal Patronage made all for an easy success on good to soft at Epsom so could do with some rain.
