      Verdict

      After beating two rivals easily at Windsor, ANNUNCIATION was sent to Royal Ascot where he led for a long way in the Norfolk Stakes. He should prove too speedy for these rivals and can get back on the winning trail. Faithfilly will be no pushover as she showed a liking for soft ground with a comfortable victory at Sandown. She's certain to be finishing strongly but the post may come too late. Lady Ibrox ran very well behind a couple of useful types at Thirsk but Just Past Andover's only success was on heavy ground and he'll need those conditions to get involved against these speedy rivals.
