        Verdict

        Grand Inquisitor produced a good effort over track and trip a week ago when finishing third ahead of Al Hamdany. But the latter had earlier finished second to CELESTIAL SPHERES here and the Godolphin charge is fancied to show further progress today and defy a 4lb rise. Both Sam Missile and Intrepidly ran well over 1m2f on their latest starts with the former preferred over today’s longer trip. The latter finished in front of Cosmeapolitan while Ming Dynasty wasn’t beaten that far when only seventh over 1m2f here last time. High Secret returns to the Flat for Paul Nicholls having placed over 1m6f at Chelmsford in November.
