      Verdict

      The four-year-old Bobby's Blessing beat younger rivals when scoring at Beverley but is penalised along with Kentucky Bluegrass, who was successful at Redcar last month. That helps the cause of IMPERIAL DREAM, who finished runner-up at Chelmsford back in September and can make a winning reappearance. Break The Spell was third of five at Brighton last time and has yet to match last year’s debut effort at Epsom.
