restless in stalls, chased leaders on inside, wen 2nd over 2f out until over 1f out, weakened final furlong
REGAL REALITY is hard to oppose on these terms. He faces an easier task having lost a shoe in the Group 2 Summer Mile at Ascot last time and is Ryan Moore’s only ride on the card. Brunch and Rhoscolyn are useful handicappers with something to prove at this level though the latter’s stablemate Azano finished runner-up in Listed company at York last month. The Flying Ginger and Lottie Marie have plenty to find at the weights.
