      Verdict

      Hawksmoor overcame trouble in-running to beat Fireglow a nose in the Group 3 Prestige Stakes at Goodwood. The runner-up had earlier beaten Flying Empress at Sandown so the latter looks held. Thetis needs to step up on what she's achieved so far on faster surfaces but Great Page was second in the Princess Margaret at Ascot before winning a Group 3 at Deauville and can be forgiven her latest run in the Moyglare Stud Stakes at the Curragh, where she missed the break. Doubly Motivated and PROMISING RUN step out of maiden company for this valuable contest but both appear to be improving at a rate of knots and could fight out the finish. Preference is just for the latter, who has Group 1 entries and is held in high regard among a powerful team of juveniles.
