Racing Post verdict
Third-partyThis looks a red-hot, high-class handicap with several runners fresh from a testing spell at the top level. Royal Zabeel earns the vote on pure class, with a course-and-distance victory last summer and a fair effort back over today's trip in a big field last time out, giving hope that a repeat could see him prominent at the finish. It is far from a formality, though: Akkadian Thunder is the most consistent alternative from a workable mark, Silver Ghost can progress from a close-up effort over this course last time, and Goldmoyne, in good form and only narrowly touched off last time, also commands plenty of respect.
