        Verdict

        DOWAYLA has won twice and been placed four times in his eight starts for Godolphin, the latest of them when a close third in a Newmarket handicap a month ago. He'll be ready for this and still looks on a reasonable mark. Philosopher didn't win last season but produced several decent runs at this sort of level, including in this race, while Secret Ambition had a fine first season for Satish Seemar winning four times including on his return after a year off. Munaaser was beaten just over a length by Bochart here in March but was conceding 11lb so racing off levels here should have no problems reversing the form. Galvanize won twice for Sir Michael Stoute but was well beaten when runner-up to stable companion Active Spirit here in February.
