      Verdict

      Godolphin sponsor this Listed contest and run three. Volcanic Sky drops down in trip representing last year’s winning yard but Loxley comes out best at the weights having won a Group 2 at Meydan back in March though hasn’t raced since. William Buick rides the latter but stablemate WALTON STREET just missed out in a decent conditions race on the Turf at Lingfield on his recent comeback and may be the one to side with. Laafy is upped in class and would prefer some cut after winning a handicap at Ascot while the unbeaten Aloe Vera returns from a lengthy lay-off having won a Listed contest at Goodwood when last in action. Golden Pass look up against it in this company.
