Racing Post verdict
Third-partyStarborn Legend was denied a clear run on debut here — forced to switch when beaten 2.25 lengths — and his late surge suggested considerably more than the finishing position conveyed; with an unobstructed passage today he looks the one to beat. Tide Of Fortune also met trouble in-running on his debut and finished a narrow runner-up, making him the chief rival, while Solana Beach brings consistent form and useful handicap experience into the mix. Starborn Legend is the selection.
Racing Post pick: Starborn Legend
