    Verdict

    JOHAN has won three of his five starts to date and produced another career-best on his reappearance at Newbury. He’ll handle any rain and can get the better of Tsar, who has won at Newcastle and Yarmouth but probably doesn’t find much off the bridle. Tell Me All and Dance Fever are closely matched on Windsor running but Great Ambassador is an interesting contender as he didn’t really get the run of the race in the Britannia and his two-year-old form stands up well. Evening Sun easily landed the odds at Newmarket and is still improving so could also go well if the extra furlong suits.
