Verdict
TAKE ME WITH YOU had some smart fillies behind when third in the Albany Stakes at Royal Ascot. She may well have troubled the first two had she been drawn on the same side and, though a wide draw here is a slight worry, Jeremy Noseda’s filly should have enough class to prevail. Lord Vetinari gives the impression he’s capable of better than he’s shown so far and Andrew Balding’s colt missed the break last time at Salisbury. Greeneyedafghan made a winning start at Ffos Las but the merit of that form is open to debate. Sergio Leone has some scope and looks the pick of the remainder.
