Verdict
A huge field for this nursery. Sixth in the Coventry Stakes after winning the Woodcote at Epsom in June, Bobsleigh heads the weights. Blue Prince easily beat Ganesha over course and distance last month but has been raised 9lb. Starlust and Dapper Valley were second and third respectively behind Serried Ranks at Goodwood and clear of Specific Times and Zoulu Chief. Barnwell Boy has been highly tried since making a winning debut at Goodwood and Jungle Mate has run a couple of cracking races in defeat over this trip. Room Service and Zabriskie Point still have scope but, despite wandering in the closing stages, RED ZONE HERO landed the odds in a decent time at Ayr and that has persuaded Hollie Doyle to keep the partnership intact even though she will be riding at her absolute minimum.
