oddschecker Verdict

Venetian Sun didn't get home in the 1000 Guineas before showcasing her talent when dropped to 6f with an explosive success in the Sandy Lane. She backed that performance up when just holding on in the Commonwealth Cup, although connections have issued a warning about her potentially being in season this week, which tempers enthusiasm on her first run against her elders. ALMERAQ got up on the line to deny Satono Reve in the Queen Elizabeth II Jubilee Stakes and there is every chance that form can be confirmed. It was a fine training performance from William Haggas to get the four-year-old back after a horror fall at York last September and he may have further improvement to come, especially given the fact he is so lightly raced for a sprinter. Wokingham hero Double Rush is unbeaten in three starts since joining Andrew Balding and deserves his chance at this level.

Prediction: 1st Almeraq, 2nd Satono Reve, 3rd Double Rush
