      Verdict

      Richard Fahey has won two of the last three and has a trio of entries this time. Party Tiger must have been showing something at home as he started favourite for his debut at Redcar but finished last on the soft ground. Scotch Myst has been well beaten on both starts but Tony Hamilton rides the newcomer Kruger Park, who is by the first-season sire Requinto out of a 6f two-year-old winner and has a Group 2 entry. Parnassian has a similar profile and should be speedy but all of the aforementioned will need to be special to see off SAVANNAH'S DREAM. David O'Meara's filly put the experience gained from her debut at Ripon to good use when chasing home Ardad in the Windsor Castle Stakes and it will be a surprise if she's beaten. Hemingway led for a long way when tackling 6f at York and with that under his belt could be the main threat.
