    Verdict

    TRUMPET MAJOR looks to have a good opportunity here. He can boast the highest official rating on the back of a short-head defeat by Talwar in a Listed event at Ascot recently and that looks the strongest form on offer. Elkhart improved when beaten four lengths in the Vintage Stakes at Goodwood last time and looks the chief threat given that Commissar has failed to figure in a couple of pattern races since an easy win on the Rowley Mile course here. Dance The Rain scored at Doncaster on his debut but this is a much tougher assignment.
