        Verdict

        BE PERFECT has been running well in amateur races and won at Hamilton last month before placing at Epsom. He gets the nod and is preferred to Orobas, who won over a mile at Brighton earlier this month but has yet to score over this far. My Renaissance makes a quick reappearance having failed to figure at Ripon earlier this week and the Irish filly Sheila's Empire has yet to win in 15 attempts while connections will be hoping a change of headgear for Rockliffe will bring a return to form.
