Verdict

There a few performers proven at this level in the field, none more so than CARDSHARP. Mark Johnston's colt took the July Stakes at Newmarket, also a Group 2, in between running very well in the July Stakes and Richmond Stakes, the latter of which was probably run on ground too soft for him. Returning to what should be a sound surface here he is taken to get the better of Headway, who equally found the soft ground at Goodwood to be an issue, and Invincible Army, who continues to look full of promise following two recent defeats in Group company.
