Verdict

One favourite has won this in ten years. The combination of David Barron and Ryan Moore look irresistible and SIRVINO, who has always been a classy handicapper and won seven races, can defy a 5lb rise for his victory at York where he would have won comfortably but for being impeded. He was beind Sheikhzayedroad at Doncaster at the end of April but once again failed to find a clear run and is better over today's extra quarter mile while the winner tackles the trip for the first time. Duke Of Clarence stepped up to the trip for the first time at Windsor and was just touched off by Ustura, so should get involved, while Tepmokea is well handicapped on Turf compared to his all-weather rating and topweight shouldn't prevent a big run.
