In depth

Verdict

Ventura Vision got her head back in front when scoring over track and trip while Shaykhoon arrives on the back of a victory at Newcastle. Brunel Charm and Spirited Guest have won on the all-weather this year and are both preferred to Too Shy Shy but GLENN COCO gets another chance. The latter has failed to figure on the Turf recently but was beaten less than a length off today’s mark when last over track and trip and can add to his current tally of four course wins.
