      Verdict

      Just the five runners in this and two of those, Fire Brigade and Bravery, will be carrying more than their allotted weight. Aquarium ran well over 1m2f here on Thursday when just denied. He’ll likely benefit if Ostilio sets a strong pace but the latter kept on to take second in a Group 3 at Goodwood after making all in the Britannia Stakes at Royal Ascot, though has been raised another 7lb so WHISKY BARON is preferred. A Group 1 winner in South Africa, he joined William Haggas after a couple of runs at Meydan at the start of the year and made a highly encouraging reappearance in a Group 2 at Goodwood when probably in need of the run.
