        Verdict

        Gatewood is penalised for his Listed win at Goodwood but will find the forecast ground fast enough. Battalion is another who would prefer some cut as when beating Chancery and Rawaki at Ripon in April while Sheikhzayedroad has arguably the best piece of recent form with a second in the Brigadier Gerard at Sandown. But the suspicion remains the latter is best over 1m2f and a chance is taken on CAMERON HIGHLAND. A Listed winner at Windsor, he only faded inside the final furlong in last year's renewal and should go very close on his reappearance. Energia Eros has the past form to figure but has shown little since joining Marco Botti.
