        Verdict

        Sir Henry Cecil has won the last two renewals and is double-handed today. Tom Queally's presence on Monopolize suggests she has a better chance than the less exposed Light Blow and the former should be thereabouts after finishing fourth at Newbury last time. However, preference goes to COPS AND ROBBERS, who made a promising debut behind odds-on shot Thimaar over C&D last month and will have come on for the experience. Asaid and Old Navy are ones to note on their belated debuts as both are bred to be suited by middle-distances.
