        Verdict

        SESAME BIRAH won at Chester in June and wasn’t disgraced in testing ground at Deauville when sent for a Group 3 race in France. She may well defy a penalty back at this level. Fantasy Believer may improve enough to get involved having made a modest start over 6f here but the others with experience make no appeal. Afraid Of Nothing is the first foal of a winner in France while Grimsthorpe Castle is out of an unraced dam related to several Group 1 winners. Machios is a half-brother to winners and Mr Poy is an early Derby entry.
