In depth

Verdict

ROYAL MILA is bred for middle-distances so it was no surprise she didn't run as a two-year-old. She made up for lost time with a debut success in a strong race at Goodwood and should remain unbeaten. Goldsborough also won at Goodwood, putting a moderate debut behind him with a convincing success over a mile, though that was on heavy ground. Out Rule has his first start on Turf but could still prove best of the remainder.
