Verdict
Red Mystique ran as though something was amiss when tailed off at Kempton last time but has claims on his earlier placed effort over track and trip when he had Hoonose behind. The veteran Formidable Guest is a multiple winner on Polytrack over shorter distances but failed to beat a rival the last time he raced over 2m while Perfect Shot is not one to trust but has a chance if producing his best. GALIOTTO looks high enough in the weights but gets the token vote as he's a course and distance winner and Ryan Moore is back on board today.
