Verdict

KERDOS ran a cracker considering he got loose beforehand and raced in the unfavoured far-side group in the King Charles III Stakes at Royal Ascot last month, so he makes plenty of appeal now dropping back in grade. She's Quality seems sure to be on the premises once again, with the likeable Balmoral Lady another to note in what looks an up-to-scratch renewal of the Coral Charge.
