        In depth

        Verdict

        George Villiers came off a strong pace set by Parsimony to score over the course and distance last month with Great King close up in third and the leader dropping back to fourth. There's little between them on the revised terms though Parsimony will strip much fitter and may be capable of reversing the places. Ambassadorial is stepping up in trip after a short-head defeat behind Midnight Sands over a mile then a moderate run in Group 3 company. This is his level but the vote goes to RED CACTUS (NAP). Trained in Scandanavia, he ran in better company in three starts here last year and made a very encouraging return when just failing to catch Godolphin's Art Du Val over 1m1f three weeks ago.
