Racing Post verdict
Third-partySallaal was emphatic at Epsom last time, landing a handicap by six and a half lengths despite trouble in running, and he remains relatively untapped over today's 10f trip on going that suits — a step up in grade looks well within his scope. Royal Rhyme carries proven top-level form and has genuine excuses for a muted season to date, while Glacius should continue to improve after his Ascot third and cannot be dismissed. Sallaal is the selection.
