      Verdict

      None of the eight runners in this Group 3 can be dismissed out of hand but Regal Reality has won two of his three starts and had the disappointing Threading well beaten when scoring in this grade at Goodwood, despite being friendless in the market. Deauville fourth Emmaus will enjoy any give in the ground but finished just behind Here Comes When in the Lennox Stakes at Goodwood in July. ZONDERLAND’s second in last year’s Celebration Mile shows what he is capable of. He looked to be coming to hand again when fourth in that same contest last month and did win in this grade in 2016. Tabarrak and Circus Couture both need to up their game and Master The World tends to struggle at this level.
