Verdict
It's difficult to make a strong case for any of these and QUAE SUPRA failed to threaten the winner when third in testing ground over a mile here last time. But this shorter trip should suit and the Hannon yard has won the last two renewals. Maybe Now Baby may do better dropped in class today after a couple of modest efforts at Newmarket while there should be more to come from The Olympus Man and Machiavelian Storm as they go handicapping for the first time.
