Verdict

A good quality sprint. Shawaamekh (first attempt at 6f), Watchable and George Bowen are all possible pace-setters, and this should set the race up perfectly for a fast-finisher. The Ayr Silver Cup winner Golden Apollo turned in a solid display in the Silver Wokingham Stakes (eighth of 19), but a clear preference is for the top-weight SUMMERGHAND, who was only denied by the narrowest of margins (a nose) in the actual Wokingham Stakes itself.
