      Verdict

      Gems failed to take advantage of some lenient handicapping at Brighton last time and is 4lb higher here. So we'll take a chance on fellow C&D winner BARBIROLLI, even though he ran no sort of race at Lingfield on Friday. Laura Pike normally gets on well with the nine-year-old, who is only a pound higher than when third over this trip at Brighton in April when just behind Vinces. Windsor fourth Choral Festival makes most appeal of the others ahead of Sunset Boulevard.
