Verdict

A competitive valuable staying handicap. Preference is for KIRCHNER, who took another step forward for his new yard when bolting up at Ascot last month and James Owen's 4-y-o is fancied to make light of a 6 lb rise with the booking of Ryan Moore only enhancing his claims further. Small Fry heads up the dangers having run as well as he ever has at Goodwood recently, with Boatswain and Valedictory another couple worth considering, too.
