Verdict

Breton Rock returned the shock 50/1 winner in last year’s renewal with David O’Meara’s pair Suedois and So Beloved behind. Suedois went on the land a Grade 1 at Keeneland and may well reverse running after placing in the Summer Mile at Ascot. It was soft ground when Here Comes When won the Sussex Stakes here last year and the French raider Karar may also prefer some cut. D'bai has won a Group 3 at Haydock this season while Sir Dancealot beat So Beloved and Dutch Connection when winning the Group 3 Criterion over today’s trip at Newmarket in June and finished ahead of Spirit of Valor when fourth in the July Cup last time. He also has a verdict over Emmaus from last year and has every chance in this but the three-year-old TIP TWO WIN (NAP) is preferred today. Roger Teal’s colt drops down in class and returns to 7f having finished runner-up to Saxon Warrior in the 2000 Guineas before running well again in the St James’s Palace Stakes at Ascot and should go very close.
