      Verdict

      It will be a shock if SERENGETI SKY is beaten here. The Godolphin colt, who cost £170,000 earlier this year, made a fine start behind well-supported rivals at Newbury and doesn't look to have any more to do. Rashford's Double is sent on the long trip from Yorkshire and will have learnt from his opening run at Haydock but the remainder have all been beaten a long way and it's difficult to make a case out for any of them.
