Verdict

GLENEAGLES looks the pick of the Ballydoyle pair. Ryan Moore takes over on the son of Galileo, who is a full-brother to the Irish 1000 Guineas winner Marvellous. He was disqualified after finishing first past the post in the Grand Criterium at Longchamp, when Territories was impeded and eventually placed second, but was the best horse in the race and can prove it here. The latter has had a nice prep race back at Longchamp and his trainer will have him primed. Estidhkaar can confirm Greenham Stakes running with Ivawood, who started favourite but was well held, and Paul Hanagan prefers him to Intilaaq, who won a Newbury maiden in a canter and deserves to take his chance. Racing Post Trophy hero Elm Park may need some rain if he's to take his chance but would come right into the equation if the heavens opened.
