Verdict

Although he may well have been flattered by his run in the Guineas, where he had the best of the draw, Redback looks sure to take some beating over this trip. The progressive Millennium Dragon, will provide a stiff test. He has not been extended in winning twice at Newmarket and he looks sure to play a big part in this. Compton Dragon and Meshaheer, both drawn on the wrong side in the Guineas, are capable of a bold showing in this, as are the likes of Free Handicap winner and runner-up, Twilight Blues and the Queen's Approval.
