      Verdict

      Highest Level has been going well on Polytrack and should figure if translating that form back to the Turf, though is 5lb higher. Goring was never really travelling at Epsom three weeks ago and hampered in the straight but his form earlier is decent and he isn't out of this. Oracolo got back to winning ways on fast ground over course and distance earlier this month but Tafahom would need to improve again on his maiden win at Nottingham to follow up. AZRAFF was conceding weight to the classy Royal Ascot winner Time Test when beaten five lengths by that one over 1m2f at Haydock last time. The drop back a mile shouldn't be a problem and, with blinkers to wake him up, the top weight can confirm Haydock running with the disappointing Dance Of Fire and land this.
