Verdict

True Cause, Snoqualmie Boy and Prince of Light are the three that catch the eye in this Listed affair and True Cause is nominated to continue the good run of the Godolphin camp. Snoqualmie Boy justified his trainer¿s faith in him in a Listed contest at Royal Ascot and although finding the Coral-Eclipse too hot last time he is capable of playing a leading role in this company. Prince of Light was out of his depth in a Group Two affair here on Tuesday but his earlier success at Chester underlined his talent and his trainer has his string in fine form at the moment. True Cause won twice as a juvenile including a success at the track and he will come here a lot sharper for his seasonal debut second at Epsom. That run came at a time when his stable were not firing at all and now the opposite is the case. True Cause is selected to show how the Godolphin tables have turned.
