Verdict

QEWY is a fascinating runner after his expeditions down-under. His Melbourne Cup fourth is amongst the best form on offer and he's narrowly preferred to Tuesday's Royal Ascot winner Thomas Hobson, who may just find this run coming too soon. Motherland is entirely unexposed and could go well for the Joseph O'Brien yard.
