        Verdict

        Opt Out beat Mowhoob by only a neck over a mile here earlier but has been beaten since and the latter re-opposes on slightly better terms. GONE WITH THE WIND has been getting closer without threatening to win having slipped down the weights this year and it could be his turn today. Dont Tell Chris will need to step up on last month's handicap debut effort at Wetherby but has scope to do so and is preferred to Irish challenger Six Silver Lane.
