    Verdict

    JAISALMER is the senior runner in this but just about the pick of the weights on his win at Warwick in April. He gets the nod over the less-exposed maiden Not Sure and Falcon Sun, who has tumbled down the ratings. Mordred and John Betjeman are in danger of becoming disappointing while Dream Du Grand Val had to drop into a claimer to get back to winning ways.
