Verdict

A traditionally competitive renewal of Europe's biggest Flat handicap. Magic Circle arrives off the back of a gutsy victory in a handicap at this meeting on Wednesday and has to have a say at the weights, while Dubka is a well-drawn contender who did well to go close at Goodwood last time out. However, the filly NATURAL SCENERY was even more impressive when finishing second in the Northumberland Plate and should have more to offer given her profile now returning to a better turf surface. She is probably drawn a little lower than ideal given the trends for this race, but she can overcome that to come home in front here. Flymetothestars and Sir Chauvelin, if he gets a run, are others who ran well in that Newcastle highlight to consider.
