Verdict

ELOSO failed in a bid for a hat-trick when upped in class at Epsom. But he sported cheekpieces for both earlier wins and the headgear is re-fitted for this. Appier won at Newcastle before finishing behind fourth-placed Genesius at Lingfield while Bookmark has done all his winning on Turf so far and unpredictable Fearless Bay won at Newcastle in between a couple of poor efforts. Al Azhar, Lexington Knight and Auntie Margaret all drop back down in trip with the latter preferred.
