        Verdict

        Clayton is dropping down a grade but still looks a shade high in the weights and Al Saham makes more appeal than the returning Greek War of the Godolphin duo. Rockalong and Bank On Me are potentially open to improvement as they step up in distance though earlier efforts over 1m2f don't boost confidence. Chester winner Enzaal takes on much better company but it's too soon to write off One Pekan after a disappointing effort at this track. MAGISTRAL picked-up a maiden over a mile at Windsor with the minimum of fuss and with further progress expected, he looks the one to beat as he steps up in trip.
