Racing Post verdict
Third-partyAnnastarzy arrives here in fine form following back-to-back successes, grinding out a narrow verdict at Goodwood last time with real resolve, and her progressive profile makes her the one to beat despite a 4lb higher mark. Best Rate has been consistently placed of late and represents the chief danger, with Herculeus showing encouraging signs back at this course and Kennington interesting on his handicap debut. Annastarzy is the selection.
