FormscanBy Mark Nunan - WORDSWORTH gets plenty of weight for age and going back up in trip will definitely help him as he lacks a gear over a mile and a half. He was a good second over this trip in the Queen’s Vase, albeit the form of that race hasn’t worked out, and his two runs back at twelve furlongs have seen him done for pace at the business end but this will be more about staying power. Prix du Cadran heroine Princess Zoe bounced right back to form with an excellent second in the Gold Cup at Ascot and this will tell us whether she needs extreme distances to be seen at her best. Amhran Na Bhfiann faces a tough task carrying a penalty for his Curragh Cup win in June, and Saval Beg winner Emperor Of the Sun has to bounce back from two moderate efforts since that Listed success in May. Melbourne Cup winner Twilight Payment hasn’t fired so far this term but is very effective over course and distance, and a much improved showing would be no surprise.
