      Verdict

      Taqneen went close to catching Wistar at Yarmouth last time. But the latter is trained by Luca Cumani so he'll have good line on the chances of ALKETIOS. The latter returned to action with a fourth at Nottingham and the form looks rock-solid with the first two home having subsequently won. Pantolini finished last on his debut and the Godolphin colt can only improve on that while Protected showed some progress on his reappearance at Musselburgh and looks best of the rest.
