      Verdict

      Several have been winning over a mile here including Pope Gregory, who bids for a hat-trick with an apprentice taking over the reins. Tie A Yellowribbon finally opened her account after 19 attempts when scoring here last month but CASARUAN may cope best with the drop back to 7f. Mick Appleby’s colt came from last to first at the track to win with something in hand last time and was placed over today’s distance before that. Amazon Princess won over 7f at Salisbury before struggling over a mile at the same track while both Kodimoor and Theydon Louboutin have plenty to find with Pope Gregory.
