In depth

Verdict

Vin Chaud is a lightly-raced and progressive type who landed a Listed contest on his latest start in France though has been set a stiff task on his debut here. DARK EMERALD was in superb form here a year ago winning twice before finishing runner-up to the classy Safety Check in a Group 2. He was slightly disappointing on his reappearance but with that under his belt has the quality to see off these rivals despite a wide draw. Mile De Kock has a trio of entries but Liquid Mercury and Mutamakkin return after long breaks and Rock Cocktail was well beaten on his return to action. Fanciful Angel is a smart performer who won a Listed contest on Polytrack at Lingfield in April and performed with credit in Group company later so should be winning here soon.
