      Verdict

      Night Circus won the Wood Ditton over a mile here last month and bids to give Godolphin a third successive victory in this Listed race and a fourth success in seven years, though has stamina will have to be taken on trust. KHALIDI is still improving judged on his victory in the Fielden Stakes here last month and can overcome a small penalty to land a fourth career win. Speedo Boy has his first run for new connections but had decent form in France and is preferred to Majoris. Permian almost upset Cracksman in the Derby Trial at Epsom but more would be needed here.
