        Verdict

        Encrypted remains 10lb higher than when last successful in a handicap though he beat Muthmir over today’s trip in Listed company at the end of last year. The latter ran well in the Epsom Dash when beaten only a length but seems best over the minimum trip nowadays and WATCHABLE is preferred. David O’Meara’s charge completed a double over 6f on the Turf earlier this season and was placed over course and distance last time when ahead of both Unabated and Katheefa. The latter beat Busby when scoring here back in May while better is expected from Desert Doctor back over today’s shorter trip but Royal Birth has to race off a much higher mark returning to the all-weather and is 12lb higher than when winning at Windsor last month.
