        Verdict

        Now he's got his head in front, Pindar could easily follow up his Bath victory over this extra quarter-mile. Taqaat is also upped in trip after his second at Yarmouth though has a bit to find with Young Jackie on that run. Rodrigo De Freitas seems to need further nowadays, however, so we'll give a tentative vote to GOWER RULES. He's dropped to a decent mark and may have found the ground softer than ideal at Windsor last time. Barbirolli is racing for the 108th time on the Flat today and recent runs suggest those efforts are starting to take their toll.
