Verdict

SALLAAL turned an ultra-competitive affair into a rout when storming clear at Epsom 4 weeks ago and is very much the one to beat back in listed company based on that performance. Glacius made a highly encouraging reappearance in the Hampton Court and is second choice, ahead of Royal Rhyme, who finished with plenty of running left in the Wolferton Stakes after repeatedly meeting trouble.
