Verdict

Viscount Vert came with a withering run to cut down My Lord over C&D last week and will make a bold bid to complete the hat-trick, despite a penalty. He's won on heavy ground so the going won't be a problem. Goodwood third Sir Mike may not be suited by the drop back in trip, however, while Love Tale tries a mile for the first time though did win over 7f at Leicester as a two-year-old. Eurystheus, a winner here in October last year and second over the trip at Kempton last month, may enjoy a fitness advantage over stablemate Sugarformyhoney but we're loathe to desert TAKEITFROMALADY while she's still got the ground in her favour. Ralph Beckett's filly is a real mudlark and is eased in grade after a couple of excellent runs at Newmarket and Sandown where she didn't get the run of the race.
