FormscanBy Tom Weekes - FORT VEGA is 10lb higher than when landing last year’s renewal of this valuable race but should again compete. A half-brother to a Group 2-winner, the selection scored readily last year and while now burdened with extra weight, made a fine recent reappearance over a shorter distance. Today’s rival Headmaster won that Curragh race in May, with Aviatrice finishing third, and each of those rivals holds obvious claims having previously shown form at today’s distance. Hat-trick chasing Bint Majestic Roi competes from a career-high rating while other recent winners Key Witness and Bella Isabella would each prefer easier ground. L L Koulsty is 8lb wrong at the weights.
