      Verdict

      Himalya may not get a better opportunity to win a Group 3 but winning any race has proved beyond him since he made his debut two years ago. As a result, he can't be recommended and he's taken on with ALDOVRANDI who has done more than enough in two runs in Listed races for Marco Botti this season to believe that he's up to this task and he could conceivably improve for the softer surface. Prince Of Dance wears a tongue tie for a new yard as he attempts to recapture his juvenile form, Georgebernardshaw is another on a long losing run and bigger questions may be asked by the fillies Tropical Paradise and First City with the Winkworth runner holding the sounder claims following her second course success in just three starts.
