      Verdict

      An interesting novice stakes in which Bodyline must concede 6lb all round. He appeared not to handle the undulations of Epsom effectively so did really well to still come out on top and is clearly going the right way. However, STOWEMAN may just be too good on the back of pleasing runner-up efforts at Salisbury behind a couple of potentially useful sorts in Impressor and Ethic. Fantasy Believer has shown clear ability on two Newbury starts and should be thereabouts and Richard Hannon's Intrepid Italian and Eve Johnson Houghton's Hms President are a couple of newcomers well worth noting.
