      Verdict

      Robert Walford looks to have chances here with CASTARNIE and Umberto D'olivate. The former looks best of the pair and should be good enough for this after an excellent reappearance on the track, though he'd been beaten a long way into second by his stable companion over the track and trip on New Year's Day. Lord Ballim won four times earlier this year then raced in much better company so he's a threat with his rider's claim a bonus but According To Harry appears to need quicker ground to show his best, a remark that also applies to Only Gorgeous, who completed a double in small fields on fast going here in April.
