      Verdict

      An interesting event in which the progressive Anythingtoday is likely to be all the rage under a penalty after a facile win in the mud at Bath on Wednesday. For all that, this is by no means a simple task and EDDYSTONE ROCK is preferred in the hands of Silvestre De Sousa having caught the eye in defeat on numerous occasions in stronger company this summer. Speed Company , Thundering Blue and Atkinson Grimshaw are also respected in a good race.
