JUDICIAL edges this at the weights and has undergone wind surgery since finishing last in the King’s Stand at Ascot last month. He’d earlier finished in front of Encore d'Or on the Rowley course here and Julie Camacho’s sprinter should be winning this if back to his best. Ornate landed this contest back in 2017 and arrives in fine form having won the Epsom Dash before following up in a conditions' race at Beverley. But a penalty doesn’t help his cause today while Junius Brutus has a tough task on these terms taking on older sprinters.
Encore d'Or 12-1 (9-10) Tracked leaders, ridden inside final 2f, never on terms, weakened final furlong, 11th of 13, 6 1/4l behind Fool For You (8-9) at Newcastle 5f hcp (2) pol in Jun.
Judicial (IRE) 66-1 (9-4) Led to post, close up, pushed along halfway, weakened final furlong, last of 12, 9 3/4l behind Blue Point (9-4) at Ascot 5f Grp 1 stks (1) gd in Jun.
Ornate 6-5 (9-2) Broke well, made all, ridden when hard pressed 1f out, stayed on gamely final furlong, won at Beverley 5f stks (3) gd in Jun beating Final Venture (9-2) by 1l, 3 ran.
Junius Brutus (FR) 5-1 (10-1) Led 1f, chased leaders, every chance over 1f out, kept on same pace, 2nd of 5, 1/2l behind Amplify (8-13) at Windsor 5f hcp (3) gf in Jun.
