        Verdict

        Indian Sounds has won twice at Bath since a second here in June but this is a big step up in grade and he’s also been raised a further 8lb. Stablemate Tanasoq has his sights lowered but he’s not been at the top of his game for a while. Watchable was second at Ripon on Thursday but he is better over 6f on Turf. MIGHTY SPIRIT may be worth forgiving her run at York as she got upset at the start and missed the break. She was fifth behind the smart Art Power at Royal Ascot on her reappearance, which proves she has trained on. Duke Of Firenze won off a higher mark last year and is still capable in this grade so rates the danger.
