Verdict

CLEOPATRA'S NEEDLE shaped as though she could be ready to strike on her latest Flat start and is narrowly preferred to Sarangpur, who finished a solid third at Gowran last time. Copper Craft is likely to be in the mix, too, providing he can translate his recent all-weather form to turf.

  1. CLEOPATRA'S NEEDLE (IRE)
  2. SARANGPUR (IRE)
