In depth

Verdict

Sudona won over course and distance earlier this month but looked in the handicapper’s grip last time at Ripon. Highwaygrey is 2-2 over track and trip this summer so much respected, despite a penalty, while El Picador and Baryshnikov shouldn’t be far away again but MICHELE STROGOFF could be the value as he has been slowly coming to hand since reverting to the Turf and is another who likes it here.
