        Verdict

        Reach High is the most intriguing entry on today's cards. The Godolphin four-year-old has only faced the starter four times in three seasons, has the distinction of inflicting a nose defeat on no less than Harry Angel as a juvenile as was last seen running over a mile in Jebel Ali in the middle of February. It's anyone's guess how he'll go but he must be tracked in the market on this fascinating return to action. MAZZINI is still without a win on the grass but went very close here on his penultimate start and failed to obtain a clear passage when a fast finisher at Yarmouth latest. Let's give him another chance off a mark 5lb lower than his all-weather rating. The ultra-consistent Hajjam is the logical each-way option and Georgian Manor is definitely better than his latest modest performance.
