      Verdict

      There has been plenty of give in the ground for both of SWEET MARTONI's victories and it was good to soft when she was the subject of a significant gamble here last month. But she was only beaten half-a-length and does have form on faster going so deserves another chance off only a pound higher mark. Go Sakhee hasn't quite hit the heights so far this season but can't be ignored and he makes more appeal than Newcastle winner We'll Shake Hands on these terms. Ocean Applause was well beaten at Epsom on Thursday but Monsieur Rieussec is coming down the weights and Godolphin's Game Show could bounce back at any time.
