        Verdict

        A terrific renewal of this valuable handicap can go to Court Masterpiece, who just edges the verdict over Vortex, New Seeker and the improving Etterick Waters. There are a host of others that are bubbling under as viable alternatives with the lightly weighted St Andrews heading the list for those with each-way chances at decent odds. Michael Jarvis' charge ran a blinder at Sandown last time and also has solid claims judged on his run in the Buckingham Palace Stakes. However, he was done for toe on that occasion and could find a few too good over this trip. Another to mention is El Coto, for whom many will be doing a rain dance in the hope that there is some ease in the ground. However, as the weather forecast appears to have gone against him, the Brian McMahon-trained gelding may have to wait for another day. Of the rest shortlisted: Etterick Waters arrives here in search of the hat-trick having made the most of a couple of good opportunities of late. However, he will struggle to get an uncontested lead in a race like this and others make slightly more appeal. Gay Kellaway has been bullish about the chances of Vortex and has secured the services of Frankie Dettori again today. The son of Danehill got going a fraction too late at Newbury last week but ran a race packed with potential for today's contest, and the proof will be in the pudding this afternoon. Yet another to throw into the mix is course specialist New Seeker, who takes a drop in class after being found out in a Group 3 at the start of this month. This is more his level and, as Jamie Spencer comes here for just this ride and to partner Tycoon in the big-one at 4:25pm, a bold bid is anticipated. However, they may all find themselves playing for places today if Kieren Fallon can help negotiate a clear passage for Court Masterpiece as things unfold. The son of Polish Precedent had a number of these trailing in his wake when he burst through in the Bunbury Cup and there is every reason to suspect that he would have won had he been granted the room to manoeuvre a little earlier. Fallon will undoubtedly throw his all behind making sure history doesn't repeat itself and Court Masterpiece is fancied to gain just compensation this afternoon.
