Verdict

A few of these arrive with a question mark against them so this looks an excellent opportunity for EMBESTO to build on his excellent third in Ascot's Summer Mile and gain a first win of 2024. Regal Reality wasn't at his best in Epsom's Diomed last time but is always to be respected in this grade and next on the list. Both Flight Plan and Point Lynas are capable of having a say too if bringing their A-games.
