      Verdict

      Bold Sniper is unexposed and should continue on the upgrade. He wasn't unduly troubled to land a Thirsk maiden last month but, like York runner-up Rundell, may not be favoured by the drop in distance here. Zamoyski is edging closer to a first success of the season and should be thereabouts again while Tinghir made all at Ripon, though has been done no favours by the handicapper. The second has already franked UNMOOTHAJ's victory over course and distance in April and Charles Hills' colt can follow up in this with narrow Windsor scorer He's A Striker needing a lot more and Master Ming and Nile Knight best watched on this occasion.
