      Verdict

      Chindit has finished behind Baaeed on a couple of occasions since winning the Doncaster Mile and will find this easier. Modern News finished in front of Mutasaabeq when runner-up in the Diomed at Epsom but subsequently found MY OBERON too good in a Listed contest at Windsor. The latter should be sharper for that first outing since April and can also confirm latest running with Perotto. Tactical has plenty find on these terms while it’s difficult to assess the form of the German raider Best Lightning’s Group 2 success at Baden Baden.
