In depth
Verdict
Glenfinnan hasn’t had much luck in his two runs this season. Finn's Charm hinted at a revival at Newmarket but Yarmouth winner Tafreej couldn’t cope with a 6lb rise at HQ. Bajan Bandit won over 7f here last month but has been found wanting twice over a mile. Enfjaar was clearly out of his depth in the Jersey Stakes at Royal Ascot but still has time on his side. ENGLISH OAK (NAP) is equally unexposed and finished ahead of Modesty last time at Newmarket when trying to concede 7lb to the first two. On that evidence, an opening mark of 90 may be a tad generous and the booking of Ryan Moore increases confidence.
