Verdict

Cockalorum and Lucander were third and fourth respectively in this last year. The former has much the better of the weights this time but the latter has the best recent form, though was behind Spirit Dancer here last month. Forest Falcon has won a couple of valuable handicaps this year but may be back in the handicapper’s grip. Injazati is having a first run since April but goes well fresh. Improving three-year-olds PHANTOM FLIGHT and Special Envoy may well fight out the finish with preference for the former whose third behind New London at Newmarket was franked when the winner ran away with the Gordon Stakes on his next start.
