        Verdict

        The Hannon yard last won this in 2010 with Memory, who had previously won the Albany at Royal Ascot. The unbeaten ILLUMINATE was successful in the same Group 3 contest three weeks ago with Glenrowan Rose well behind and may have enough to hold off the attentions of Easton Angel. The latter was runner-up in the Queen Mary over 5f at Royal Ascot where she finished ahead of Besharah with Kurland, Silk Bow and Rah Rah further behind. Ryan Moore takes over the reins on Haydock maiden winner Blue Bayou but Sixties Sue looks to have even more on her plate in this company.
