      Verdict

      Luca Cumani has his horses in top form again and FOUR ON EIGHT can continue the run. Frankie Dettori was on board when the grey landed a Windsor maiden in September and is reunited after his mount found the very fast conditions against him here last month. Warofindependence showed a bit more at Kempton but looks high in the ratings on what he's achieved but Cat Royale landed a Windsor handicap in April then finished a long way last at Newbury which can't have been his form. Compton Hill's best run on Turf was on this sort of ground at Leicester but Best Tamayuz only landed a moderate handicap at Nottingham before well beaten when runner-up on a return visit.
