        Verdict

        Olympic Conqueror has won on heavy going and Polytrack but has form on fast going so can't be discounted despite a big weight. Power Of States has only won on Polytrack but didn't run badly in a better race at Ascot last time while Pacino ran a fine race when beaten a neck at Yarmouth though has never raced over a trip this far. DALANIJUJO has only had five runs, making a winning debut at Doncaster last July and looking on the way back at Windsor last month where she would have gone close with the run of the race. She looks on a fair mark and Ben Curtis can steer her home.
