Verdict

BEECHWOOD GLORY has taken a step forward in each of his three career appearances, most recently occupying the runner-up berth at Ayr, and he could find the improvement required to go one better. Ischgl finished a fair third over 7f at Galway on his latest outing and the booking of Rossa Ryan is noteworthy. Of the remainder, Washington Royale makes the most appeal.

Top Tip: Beechwood Glory (2)
Watch out for: Ischgl (4)

This could prove a match race between Washington Royale and ISCHGL. The former ran a big race in a hot Goodwood maiden last time which has been boosted in the Gimcrack. He could be capable of better again if breaking on terms but he does need to demonstrate that he handles a softer surface. That isn't the case for the Irish raider who placed on easy ground at Galway last time over a stretching 7f. His spring maiden form was boosted at Royal Ascot so he gets the verdict dropped back to his optimum distance. Beechwood Glory may not have much improvement left but a repeat of his recent placed efforts should see him on the podium.
