      Verdict

      Henry Cecil's All Action has run well in all three starts in maidens so far but the softer ground today is unlikely to suit the son of Storm Cat and it may be worth giving another chance to PIANO. John Gosden's filly has 15lb to find with All Action on official BHA ratings but she is more likely to be suited by the underfoot conditions being by Azamour out of a Pivotal mare and looks worth a bet having not been disgraced when third to the impressive Conduct at Sandown last time. Jeremy Noseda's Aneel should have no difficulties with the going but his form is not working out particularly well, while Mick Channon's Momkinzain was highly tried in the Great Voltigeur last time and is hard to evaluate on the basis of two runs.
