        Verdict

        Land Of Oz won six times last, twice on the all-weather, and was a leading fancy for the Cesarewitch in October, though finished well beaten. Collide was a Listed winner at Cagnes-Sur-Mer in February and has won on Polytrack. Pianissimo has two wins and a second from previous runs around here so has to be taken seriously but this looks too hot for veteran Battle Of Marathon and Calling The Wind also faces a stiff task. CLAP YOUR HANDS arrives on a five-timer having made giant strides since his maiden victory here in December. His last three wins have come on Tapeta but he’s probably worth following until beaten.
