94 Expert View: Made too much use of down the field in Coventry Stakes (Group 2) at Ascot most recent; effective 5f/6f, acts heavy and good, sound surfaces will suit action; still a maiden but remains a very useful sprint prospect.

Expert View Verdict

Verdict

Bull Shark sets the standard on ratings but he has had plenty of chances and has a quick turnaround after Royal Ascot. He may struggle to confirm form with GIANT SEQUOIA who was backed as if defeat was out of the question first time out behind a stablemate. His breeding suggests he will have more to offer and it's notable that Ryan Moore keeps the faith given that the pair of newcomers from the same yard Oklahoma and Shakespeare both have dam's who were Group 1 winners.
