In depth

Verdict

Grand Bazaar opened his account with a victory at Windsor last month and the Gosden colt is 6lb higher for this. But MARGARET DUMONT looks on a fair mark handicapping for the first time having beaten a horse rated 81 when scoring over today’s trip in a novices race at Ascot and Ryan Moore’s presence takes the eye. Spectrum Of Light is another to consider having just missed out over track and trip on his handicap debut and headgear is applied on this occasion while Jellystone is fitted with a visor having run out at Haydock when bidding for a hat-trick. Today’s opposition may prove too hot for Iron Heart.
