    Verdict

    Approval has form enough to win this but is not one to take a short price about. Damalis goes well here and is entitled to go well again. Plateau is well regarded by Barry Hills but the obvious main contender is Suggestive, who showed a lot of speed at Royal Ascot last time and could appreciate this drop to six furlongs.
