Race preview
Utile was outclassed in a Listed race over further at Bath but she opened her account in some style on the all-weather at Kempton before that. A rating of 92 might overestimate her abilities, though, and it may be worth siding with AMTIYAZ. John Gosden's colt was collared close home over a longer trip at Chelmsford and can augment his trainer's impressive strike-rate at this track this season. Going Underground fetched 120,000gns at the sales and this son of Lope De Vega ought to be monitored for any market support.
