Formscan - Already established as two of the world's fastest sprinters, ASFOORA and Big Evs are honours even from their Group-race clashes at Royal Ascot and Glorious Goodwood and stand out as they as the gear up for round three of their personal battle. The margins will surely be tight if both run up to expectations but, armed with a 6lb turnaround after a short-head defeat in the King George Stakes, Asfoora shades the narrowest of votes over her arch enemy. Regional and Believing are no back numbers and can give the 'big two' a good run for the money. Whereas City Walls winner Starlust has only raced four times over the minimum distance and could be a surprise package. 2023 hero Live In The Dream appeals for a place this time.
