Verdict

VAFORTINO has shaped better than the bare result in valuable handicaps at Royal Ascot and Galway the last twice, looking unlucky not to win latterly. Well treated on past form, he can end his losing run granted better luck. Gleneagle Bay, also better than the result at Galway, rates the main danger from 3 lb lower, with Collecting Coin and Fort Vega also respected. Any market support for last year’s winner Rahmi would be well worth noting.
