Verdict

Quiet Reflection's wins in Group One company in both the Commonwealth Cup and here in the Sprint Cup are the standout efforts in this field from last season and she does go very well when fresh. We take her on at our peril, but we may be able to do so over the minimum trip and on fast ground with WASHINGTON DC. Aidan O'Brien's colt returned in fine fettle at Newmarket, where he had a number of this field behind and that form looks rock solid. Goldream would be a huge danger if he could get back to somewhere near his 2015 form, while Kachy and the veteran Take Cover are the most feared of the remainder.
  1. Washington Dc
