    Verdict

    YUL FINEGOLD's second to subsequent Goodwood winner Civil War at Windsor in April is the best recent form on offer in this and it might be worth ignoring a later fourth at Bath over a shorter trip. George Baker's charge gets 5lb from Meetings Man, who is penalised for scoring on the Polytrack at Lingfield last week. Rocky Elsom should handle conditions and is preferred to Laura Secord and veteran King Zeal of the remainder.
