        Verdict

        Aidan O'Brien has trained three of the last five winners so Jacobean and Aloft are expected to improve competing outside of maiden company for the first time. But they will need to if they are to match a couple of these including the unbeaten Celestial Path. The latter won a Listed race at Haydock in good style last time and a bold bid is expected but ELM PARK has the proven form. Andrew Balding's colt landed a hat-trick with victory in the Group 2 Royal Lodge at Newmarket last month and is the one to beat on that running. Tupi fell victim to the selection earlier while Cock Of The North, Restorer and Snoano have a tough task on these terms.
