Verdict

Law And Order had no chance in the 2000 Guineas earlier this month but holds Baileys Showgirl on Polytrack form. Rodaini was second in the European Free Handicap at Newmarket last month but has a penalty to carry here and has proved best over 7f. Khafoo Shememi is a decent handicapper but steps up in grade for this and Escobar disappointed when behind Law And Order in the Tattersalls Stakes at Newmarket in September. ZAINHOM (NAP) holds Rodaini and Law And Order on his second in October’s Autumn Stakes at Newmarket. A respectable third in the Greenham on his reappearance, he should be opening his account for the season in this.
