      Verdict

      OBELIX is likely to start a warm order here after second places at Newmarket and Yarmouth. The son of Sea The Stars, a €300,000 purchase at the Breeze-up in May, is bred for middle-distances so stepping up to this trip will be in his favour. Dreams Adozen will undoubtedly improve for her debut at Wolverhampton where she didn't quite get the run of the race but Captain Wentworth hasn't shown much. Dubai Crystal has a fine middle-distance pedigree and is one for the future.
