      Verdict

      A dual winner over 7f in January, Boboli Gardens could only manage fifth over a shorter trip last week. His previous efforts over today's distance do not offer much encouragement so a chance is taken on FLAMBOROUGH BREEZE ending a long losing run. Ed Vaughan's charge hasn't won since landing this contest in 2013 but is 5lb lower today and has been thereabouts of late. Hierarch is also back on a winning mark and finished ahead of Clement when third at Lingfield a fortnight ago while Bennelong is weighted to figure as he attempts to add to three previous course and distance wins.
