      Verdict

      Morache Music is on a long losing run but couldn’t have got any closer at Goodwood last month and is only 2lb higher. Black Caesar is another who has been knocking on the door and, alongside Flexible Flyer, is the only one of two of this field to have won at the track previously. Nezar wasn’t disgraced back on Turf at Ascot but Bahamian Heights is not really firing at present. CHILDESPLAY is 2lb lower than for her last win and she was a bit unlucky when a close third last time at Chelmsford – compensation awaits here.
