Verdict

Casila's latest effort at Brighton was too bad to be true and she is better judged on an earlier fourth at Nottingham. It's Only Business has been thereabouts over shorter trips of late and Sandgate has been getting steadily closer without threatening. Goodby Inheritence is still improving and can figure but FERDY makes most appeal. He wasn't beaten far here in May by Merchant Of Medici, who went on to a land hat-trick - Paul Green's charge gets the nod on that form.
