      Verdict

      Vaynor has been winning over longer trips this year. He shares ownership with Splendent, who won on soft going at Windsor last month and it was also testing ground when Greystoke scored at Chester. Noble Masquerade disappointed last time while Millions Memories landed a lower grade four-runner affair at Salisbury. LATIN VERSE (NAP) was sent off a big price in a tougher handicap at York but wasn’t disgraced behind last week’s subsequent Queen’s Vase third Chesspiece and Ralph Beckett’s charge has enough scope for further progress.
