        Verdict

        VALE OF IRON could give John Best and jockey Kieren Fox a quick double as he recorded his only victory so far in this country over course and distance in December and only found one too good recently at Goodwood. Firestorm was last on his only previous try on Polytrack but showed more on the Turf course here last time. Chilworth Bells is only a plater nowadays while Ravenous is hard to predict. New Street may be the pick of the remainder.
