    Verdict

    A poor turnout for the prize money. Love In Seattle has prove expensive to follow in his two outings to date, going off a well backed favourite both time. It could be a case of third time lucky with him, but Risk Taker looks the safer option. From the same family as the high-class Reams Of Verse and Elmaamul, he will appreciate this step up in trip and can start making up for lost time. The form of Macmillan's two outings so far leaves him with plenty to find in this, but he is still learning and may do better when he goes handicapping.
