Verdict

Newmarket trainers are well represented and Scottish Vespers gets first-time headgear having gone close again when third at Brighton recently. He'll stay this longer trip and makes more appeal than Stunning View and Crystal Monarch as neither of that pair has looked like winning yet. CITY OF CANTON was completely unfancied on his debut over a shorter trip at Headquarters but was far form disgraced in finishing seventh. A half-brother to a C&D winner, Luca Cumani's colt will have come on for that experience and should go close. Chella Thriller was aimed high and beaten out of sight in the Ribblesdale at Royal Ascot last time and can only improve on that run here.
