Verdict

The vote in this trappy-looking contest goes to UNDER THE TWILIGHT, who returned to form when hitting the crossbar at Windsor where she shaped as though the return to this trip would be in her favour. Likely pace angle Azano will be dangerous if allowed too much rope out in front, while Silver Samurai's confidence may have been boosted by his Newmarket success and he also merits respect, along with Mitrosonfire and Priscilla's Wish.

  1. UNDER THE TWILIGHT
  2. AZANO
  3. SILVER SAMURAI
