In depth

Verdict

SOMETHING LUCKY is pretty consistent at this sort of level and the only course and distance winner in the line-up. Michael Attwater’s grey is having his 101st career start today but can celebrate with a victory. King Robert was hating the Fibresand last time and has claims back on Polytrack but Harrogate has yet to show any aptitude for all-weather surfaces. Grisons looks the pick of the remainder ahead of Firenze Rosa.
