        Verdict

        Viewpoint had little chance against the likes of Michelangelo at Newmarket last Saturday but can figure in this company but Modernism finished nearer last at Doncaster in April having won his racecourse debut at Wolverhampton. Eshaab has lost his way since scoring at Pontefract so Super Duplex makes more appeal on his Sandown second in May. JOHN BISCUIT hasn't won since scoring on his racecourse debut at this track in 2010 but his latest second at Kempton suggests a return to winning ways is imminent and he gets the nod.
