Junius Brutus went close over 5f at Windsor when last competing at this level though finished behind third-placed Woven over today’s trip at Ascot subsequently. Concierge and Prince of Rome have both proven best over the minimum trip so far while Heath Charnock has struggled since narrowly beaten over course and distance in July when just ahead of INTUITIVE. But the latter has since gone close again in a higher grade sprint here and James Tate’s charge gets the vote to come out best having been recently gelded.
