Racing Post verdict

Third-party

Orange Emperor finished a close second last time on today's official mark, returning to a trip that suits on ground he handles; with the trainer currently in strong form he shapes as the one to beat. My Dad Tom has scope to be competitive on his AW figures and first-time cheekpieces may help, though his recent form gives pause. Savannah Smiles has shown better form in recent outings and is respected, while Blindfold Games merits a place in the forecast. Orange Emperor is our selection.
