      Verdict

      This looks pretty open with plenty threatening to get their heads in front. Flameoftheforest has been running well over 7f, but may struggle here if making one of his frequent slow starts and BILLION DOLLAR KID is preferred. He may be better suited to today's distance having gone close over 7f at Goodwood last time when fading in the closing stages and Kieren Fallon takes over the reins. Links Drive Lady is another dropping back a furlong after finishing runner-up at this track last time, while Silver Wind and Hand Painted were both placed on their latest outings over 6f and are not easily dismissed.
