        Verdict

        Narrowly beaten in the Windsor Castle at Ascot, ROCKET RODNEY made no mistake in a Listed contest at Sandown last time and returned a convincing winner. That form has worked out well given the re-opposing third Eddie's Boy went on to land the Super Sprint at Newbury and the latter can figure again. Walbank finished runner-up in a messy Norfolk Stakes at Ascot while Ryan Moore partners the Irish colt and Navan maiden winner Studio City and Trillium is another maiden winner upped in class. The remainder look up against it in this company.
