      Verdict

      Central City won over 2m here earlier though finished behind runner-up Campese over the same distance back here last week. Haarar scored at Windsor in May and debuts on the all-weather while Oriental Art is usually thereabouts without winning. Bayston Hill saves his best for this venue but hasn’t won for some time now and a chance is taken on the less exposed MISS BLENNERHASSET, who placed at Chepstow on her handicap debut with this extra distance likely to bring further progress.
