      Verdict

      GERT LUSH arrives on the back of a victory at Sandown and was partnered by Megan Jordan when beating Sir Plato at Goodwood last year. Today’s amateur was on board recent Lingfield winner Richard P Smith when the latter scored at Windsor last autumn but They Don't Know hasn’t won anywhere in 22 starts so far. Luna Magic was due to race in one of these events at Newbury yesterday.
