In depth

Verdict

Queen Sarabi won a handicap over course and distance in May but has not run up to that form since. VOODOO RAY, prominent for a long way when third at Epsom last month, should be up to winning a race like this with Rhys Clutterbuck claiming 3lb. Sapphire's Moon has probably been running better than form figures would suggest and he looks the pick of the remainder.
