      Verdict

      Three of these fought out the finish in a similar race at Kempton last time when BLUE TRAIL came out best. Find took up the early running on that occasion but was caught close home by both Harrow and the selection and the Godolphin colt is taken to confirm superiority in a tight contest. Mr Professor placed in Listed company at Meydan last month but Dark Moon Rising returns to action and Atheby has is all to do on these terms.
