Race Verdict
Stage Attraction landed this race 12 months ago for Andrew Balding and David Probert and it would come as no surprise if the pair were again spotted in the winner's enclosure, this time with VISCOUNT VERT. The gelded son of Kheleyf has clearly put a moderate juvenile campaign behind him and he looked to be staying on with purpose before the saddle slipped at Windsor. He's gone up 2lb as a result, which looks a shade harsh, but he thrives on easy ground and the handicapper may not have his measure yet. Others of interest include the unexposed Hilali and Sir Mike, who should both have more to offer at this stage.
Selection: Viscount Vert
Danger: Hilali
Alternative: Sir Mike
