        Verdict

        This could be a big points-scorer for the ladies' team as all three have secured decent mounts. Our Gabrial will be the least fancied of the trio but only a neck separated Hassle and Highland Castle behind Seamour here last month and the pair finished clear of Purple Spectrum. Teak was third in the Queen Alexandra Stakes here in June and fifth over 2m4f at Goodwood so will be staying on when others have cried enough but Communicator returns from a break and can be a tricky ride. CASTILO DEL DIABLO has also been called a few names in the past but Graham Lee could be the perfect partner for David Simcock's charge, who can pounce late to land the spoils.
