Racing Post verdict
Third-partyGemini Man has three wins from his last five starts and most recently outstayed rivals here over course and distance off a lower mark; he handles this trip and going well and looks the one to beat despite a tighter mark. Sophiesticate and Is She Now each bring valid claims — the former having gone close here recently, the latter showing much better form on her latest start — with Falaise Blanc also in the picture. Gemini Man is our selection.
