In depth

Verdict

PURE CHARMER is fitted with headgear having finished runner-up for the third time in four starts. She still finished ahead of both Roccozaam and Nemorum over track and trip on her latest outing and gets another chance. Two-Year-Old Trophy entry Sir Henry Cotton is a likely improver while Say Grace is related to a winning sprinter and preferred to Aristobulus and Helvetique. Boadicea Belle and Poweredbylightning are breeze-up purchases and other newcomers to note.
