In depth

Verdict

Romantic Verse probably has the best form among those to have raced previously but there are some interesting newcomers in the field and the vote goes to E Major, with Hollow Point rated the main danger. The selection is a well related daughter of Singspiel trained by Sir Michael Stoute and it would come as no surprise to see her being good enough to make a winning debut. Willie Muir's Artistic Light stepped up on her debut effort here last time and has to be respected, while it will be interesting to see if there is any market support for Uno Dos Tres. Mark Johnston's Hollow Point is another well bred newcomer but his juveniles normally improve form their first start and preference is for E Major.
