      tracked leaders, headway out wide and hung right and ridden 2f out, 4th and beaten when hung badly right final furlong

      In depth

      Verdict

      Placed just once in 12 career starts, Sprezzatura is thoroughly exposed and hasn’t raced since March but Chico Dulce possibly ran better than expected at Newcastle last month and has scope. The Newcastle winner was trained by Ed Bethell, who has INITIO in this. The Highland Reel newcomer is a half-brother to a 6f winner and not highly tried here with Capital Guarantee having changed stables and Elusive Empire suggesting a further step up in trip would be required when second at Salisbury.
