        Verdict

        French Gold,Filey Buoy and Zagreus are three against the field in this competitive seller and the tentative vote is given to Zagreus. The selection was a one paced fifth in this grade last time out behind Eminence Gift last time but with this stiffer track and longer trip sure to bring about some improvement he is taken to score. French Gold rates the main danger on his latest second behind Cois Na Tine Elie but that came with much more cut in the ground and for that reason he is opposed. Filey Buoy is another worthy of respect as he was in front of the selection last time out but he has yet to prove he stays this far. Procrastinate is dropping in grade and should be noted in the market. Of the remainder Cream of Esteem is from a shrewd yard and should be noted in the market but for the winner we return to Zagreus.
