    Verdict

    Accidental Agent is joint-top rated after winning last year's Queen Anne Stakes and producing a superb run in the Lockinge but he blotted his copybook when refusing to race back in this year's Queen Anne. BEAT THE BANK (NAP) is the other joint-top and though disappointing in the Lockinge made amends when just held by Lord Glitters in the Queen Anne when Matterhorn, who subsequently landed a Windsor Listed contest, was beaten 6l and Dream Castle was well behind. Zaaki beat the smart Barney Roy here in May, when Wadilsafa finished last, and progressed again to land the Group 3 Diomed at Epsom but Suedois is held by the selection on their running in the bet365 Mile at Sandown.
