Verdict

ROYAL FIXATION escapes a penalty for her win in the Lowther Stakes at York so looks the one to beat on these terms starting out for Karl Burke. Wise Approach must shoulder a 5 lb penalty for his Group 1 success in the Middle Park but still rates the main threat despite his underwhelming reappearance at Ascot, while the highly-regarded Albert Einstein stepped up on his belated comeback when third in the Greenham here and completes the shortlist in what is a very strong listed event.

1	Smart colt who won 3 times in 2025, emulating his half-brother Perfect Power in winning the Middle Park Stakes at Newmarket, showing a willing attitude after nearly coming down at the start. Disappointed in Group 3 at Ascot on return but worth another chance.
