Verdict

Ryan Moore partners Orderofthegarter of the three Ballydoyle runners ahead of Chester Vase winner Venice Beach and Spanish Steps. The former went close in a Group 3 at Ascot last time but Permian’s success in a Group 2 over today’s trip at the royal meeting looks stronger form. Shakeel is preferred to stablemate Valamaz though Christophe Soumillon’s mount was narrowly beaten by Ice Breeze at Chantilly last time with Falcon Wings back in third. The unbeaten Mac Mahon puts his form in Italy to the test and PARABELLUM takes a big step up in class. But the latter won his maiden by eight lengths over course and distance last month and having sent out four of the last eight winners, it’s a good bet Andre Fabre considers his colt up to the task.
