Verdict

WE'RE GOOSERS clearly didn't do himself justice in the Britannia at Royal Ascot in June but he'd previously been mightily impressive when routing the opposition at Newmarket on his penultimate start in May. Gelded ahead of this and still appealing as being on a good mark, he's fancied to make a bold bid to bounce back from a handy draw. Low-mileage and progressive Marengo Storm is another to consider, with Ghost Mode and Egoli also respected.
