Verdict

Equitation finished ahead of Victory Angel when runner-up over 6f at Windsor on his penultimate start but has done all his winning over the latter trip so far. Jack The Truth beat Nibras Again over track and trip back in June and the latter went on to score at York with War Whisper, Secretinthepark and Excessable all finishing behind. FOXY FOREVER won this in 2017 though could only manage fourth in last year’s renewal. But he’s 6lb lower today and, after placing at Bath last time, Michael Wigham’s charge is fancied to make another bold bid.
