Verdict

The first running of this Group 1 since being renamed the King Charles III Stakes can go to BIG EVS, who showed he's trained on well when comfortably giving weight away on his York reappearance and can prove too strong for the older brigade, headed by last year's Sprint Cup winner Regional. Third choice is very classy Australian sprinter Asfoora, who should be all the sharper for her run behind Kerdos (who should also go well) in the Temple at Haydock last month.

  1. BIG EVS (IRE)
  2. REGIONAL
  3. ASFOORA (AUS)
