Verdict
Roundabout Magic’s only win on Turf so far came here and he has a decent draw. Valentino Sunrise is rarely far away in this grade and Firenze Rosa looks in decent form. TONI’S A STAR has a first and a second from two previous runs here. Her latest second at Newcastle was another solid effort and Tony Carroll’s mare looks the one to beat having finished a close-up third on good to soft at Leicester in August.
