Verdict

Verdict

#1 Romantic Warrior launched his Triple Crown bid with a commanding Stewards' Cup win, and he now gets to 2000m, his best trip, for the second leg where it is hard to see the others turning the tables. #2 Voyage Bubble defends his crown as last year's winner and his Stewards' Cup third had merit after racing wide. A much better trial between runs was a noticeable lift. #4 My Wish steps up to 2000m for the first time since his Derby second, when he settled last then flew home off a sharp final 400m, and a small field could allow him to use that turn of foot again. #6 Winning Wing is a stayer on the up after winning three of six this season. This is his stiffest test, but it is the right sort of assignment to learn where he sits at this level.

Top Tip: Romantic Warrior (1)
Watch out for: Voyage Bubble (2)
