        Verdict

        Good Authority and Jack Of Diamonds have both been threatening a return to winning ways and the former finished ahead of Bravo Echo when runner-up over track and trip last time. Tidentime has something to prove over today's distance on the back of a 6f victory at Lingfield while Sir Mike never looked like following up his Polytrack win when only seventh at Sandown last week. Don Libre has a shout back over 7f but STARWATCH is a course and distance winner and after a good effort at Newbury six days ago, John Bridger's charge looks set to make a bold bid in this.
