      Verdict

      There was cut in the ground when Atalanta's Boy won over track and trip last summer but BIMBLE won a maiden on fast ground here last season. She has a recent outing under her belt and Ryan Moore’s presence in the saddle suggests a big run is expected today. Top Breeze and Concierge have both slipped down the weights and the latter arrives on the back of a decent third in Class 2 company at Newmarket while Open Wide won on the all-weather at the end of last year and has scored off today’s mark on Turf in the past.
