With her stable in unstoppable form, VERBIER can defy a long absence. A 380,000gns daughter of Frankel, she made a successful debut at Wolverhampton in March and though the absence is a concern she has much more scope than most of these. Supreme King had eight starts for Richard Hannon, finishing runner-up four times. He's moved yards and been gelded while Invincible Pass is expected to improve for a decent effort at Windsor where he missed the break. Run Zarak Run was in touch for a long way when tackling 1m2f at Leicester so the shorter trip should be to her advantage.
