      Verdict

      The vote goes to LEVIATHAN, who was impressive on his debut 15 days ago and will be hard to beat if posting a similar effort. Whispered Times and Ingleby Spirit are other previous winners that have to merit respect, while Arabian Pride was narrowly beaten by a potentially useful colt at Goodwood earlier this month; so he would also be dangerous to rule out. However, Leviathan - a half-brother to the useful Illustrious Blue - showed he has the heart for a battle when he scrapped his way to victory at Hamilton and, as the outing is expected to have done him the power of good, this son of Dubawi is taken to enhance his profile with a further success this afternoon.
