Race Verdict
Usually an informative contest and the appropriately-named OLYMPIC GLORY can build on a tremendous effort when runner-up to the unbeaten Dawn Approach in the Coventry Stakes at Royal Ascot. He had previously scored with any amount in hand at Goodwood and looks one of the leading Hannon juveniles. The seventh furlong should be in his favour. Artigiano was a good fifth in the Coventry and should also benefit from the step up in trip, with similar comments applicable to Lines Of Battle, sixth in the same race. Maxentius and Operation Chariot bring unbeaten records to the table and merit considerable respect.
Selection: Olympic Glory
Danger: Artigiano
Alternative: Lines of Battle
