Racing Post verdict
Third-partyA Bear Affair has faced stiff competition since his debut success and was far from disgraced when beaten four lengths in a Listed contest at Ascot last time, ensuring he remains a live player. Bill The Bull brings course form given a boost at Royal Ascot, while the consistent Ronson was narrowly denied at Beverley despite greenness; Miss Lizzy also shaped with credit in a Group 2 at Ascot and is respected. A Bear Affair is the selection.
