      Verdict

      Nadour Al Bahr ran well when second at Epsom behind Chianti and he has a good turn of foot. If he gets the fast pace which he requires he will be the one to be on. Eastern Breeze has been in the form of his life of late and won well last time out. If he settles as well as he did last time, he too will be a big danger. Prize Winner is a danger to all despite carrying top weight, with conditions in his favour. However, he may find his less exposed rivals harder to contend with than Champion Lodge, whom he beat last time.
