      Verdict

      A real rogue's gallery on display for the Conditional race. Buckland Knight popped up at 100/1 earlier this year but his form this season has far from made the headlines. Audiostreetdotcom invariably threatens to win a race at lowly levels but is far from consistent. Percy Braithwaite is plenty exposed while it is impossible to make assumptions about the well-being of Darien. We will take a chance on Jacopo. Robin Dickin's charge was fourth in a better contest at Sandown and should finish closer if more positive tactics are utilised on this occasion.
