        Verdict

        ZAMAN was rated 19lb higher than Wasim when beaten half-a-length off levels in a classic trial here three weeks ago. The winner was race-fit having shown up well in his previous runs on Dirt but clearly loved reverting to Turf and was always travelling nicely off a very fast pace. The selection, returning from a long break, came from the proverbial mile back and would probably have won in a few more strides so has to be the selection though a close inspection of the race shows Circle Dream finishing with a real flourish and that was only his fourth start and his first on Turf. Third-placed Centenary Diamond also finished strongly and he was racing for only the second time but fifth-placed Arroway appeared to have every chance as did Irish raider Freescape, though the latter will have come on a bundle for the run. Wolverhampton winner Thunderbolt Rocks would be interesting if getting a run from his reserve spot.
