      Verdict

      FALL OF ROME was doing his best work at the finish when runner-up over the minimum trip at Ascot. Given plenty to do on that occasion, this extra furlong and soft going will suit the Godolphin colt and he’s preferred to Goldenhurst. The latter also showed ability when third over 5f here last month and he can figure if handling the underfoot conditions. Wild Mountain was well beaten on his debut while Knight Rider has a speedier pedigree than both Golden War and Masekela of the newcomers.
