Verdict

WASHINGTON ROYALE has shaped with promise on all 3 starts in stronger company to date, latterly when fifth in a big-field Goodwood maiden 5 weeks ago. Remaining with potential for better still, he shades preference over Irish raider Ischgl who has shown enough himself to think a race of this nature is within his grasp. Beechwood Glory may emerge best of the remainder.

4	Irish raider who has hit the frame all 4 starts in maidens either side of finishing down the field in the Windsor Castle at Royal Ascot, equipped with cheekpieces when posting a fair third at Galway (7f, soft) 4 weeks ago. Should be up to playing a lead role on that evidence. 2nd Pick 4 Ischgl (Ire) Jockey: Rossa Ryan Trainer: Ciaran Murphy, Ireland J: Rossa Ryan T: Ciaran Murphy, Ireland	99	-	-	-	67%

2	More clued up than on debut and duly found a bit of progress when third in a C&D maiden in July and enhanced his form a little more when second at Ayr (6f) 23 days ago. Has a bit to find with a couple here but feasible to think he could yet do better. 3rd Pick 2 Beechwood Glory (Ire) Jockey: Lewis Edmunds Trainer: John Butler J: Lewis Edmunds T: John Butler	89	-	-	-	15%
