Verdict
Herridge led until inside the final furlong over this trip at Kempton last time and will be thereabouts if translating that form to Turf. Willsy was fourth behind the well-regarded Torrent on his second start over course and distance but shapes as though an extra furlong wouldn't come amiss. Bear Faced may need more time but the Holy Roman Emperor filly Flying Empress could go well and Jinko's Approval has shown signs of ability. HARRY CHAMPION was slowly away behind Qeyaadah at Newbury but ran on strongly once the penny dropped. That race is working out well with the second having won since and been placed in Listed company and Hugo Palmer's colt looks the one to be on here.
