      Verdict

      GOLDEN WEDDING already has a verdict over several of these. Eve Johnson Houghton’s charge won over track and trip a fortnight ago beating Oat Couture with Danecase and Jan Steen further behind and can go in again. Oat Couture was not beaten far and looks the main danger once again unless Poet's Song shows a big improvement having been well beaten on his return to action at Salisbury in May. The remainder are even harder to fancy.
