      Verdict

      It could pay to stick with CORINTHIAN (NAP) in this. The Sea The Stars colt was good enough to make a winning start at Haydock last month with the re-opposing Nodachi back in fourth and the latter has since gone very close in a handicap at Goodwood. Yangtze drops down a grade after running well at Musselburgh and Ryan Moore picks up the ride while Juste Pour Nous will also find this easier than his recent tasks. Skeaping continued a frustrating run of placed efforts when second at Windsor last time and remains without a win as does Magnum.
