      Verdict

      BATEEL had any amount in hand when beating Princessofthestars by two lengths on soft ground at Goodwood last month with Frenzified a further seven lengths away in fifth. The runner-up is 7lb better off here but that may not be enough to turn the tables on David Simcock's highly progressive filly, who is likely to be contesting pattern races before the season is finished. Distain has gone up 4lb since her second at York but hasn't encountered this type of surface before. Graceland was beaten by Frenzified at Salisbury two runs ago and Twitch is likely to find at least a couple too good again. Moonrise Landing may struggle to give weight to younger and less-exposed rivals.
