      Verdict

      Below par in the Diamond Jubilee at Ascot last time, Emblazoned likes to race prominently and this first attempt at the minimum trip may suit. But the veteran sprinter CASPIAN PRINCE looks a safer proposition over 5f having finished a decent third in a Group 3 at Sandown a week ago when ahead of Poetry. He also finished in front of Copper Knight in the Epsom Dash before that and collateral form gives Mick Appleby’s charge the beating of Final Venture. Little Kim was due to run here yesterday and is closely matched with Deia Glory on earlier running at Ayr though both have plenty to find on these terms as do the remainder.
