Verdict

Michael's Mount, who found 2m too far last time, is probably better than he’s shown so far this season. Monaco Rose was only beaten a length over course and distance last month and Modernism is a regular here. The lightly-raced Hochfeld could be interesting making his debut on Turf but Hussar Ballad is much better on the all-weather. COTINGA’s dam was placed over 1m4f so, even though she’s by Paco’s Boy, Ralph Beckett’s filly should last home around here. She stayed on strongly when only beaten half-a-length over 1m2f at Leicester last time and Georgia Cox’ claim is a bonus. Parish Boy and Brandon Castle may be best of the rest.
