    Verdict

    Long-standing maiden June French has had plenty of chances but wasn't beaten far over track and trip last time. My Silver Cloud finally got his head in front at Fontwell last time but an 11lb rise looks excessive while Lord Lir may need this while Herecomesthetruth is now a teenager and doesn't look the force of old. GOLANOVA made mistakes and was 14 lengths behind My Silver Cloud over 2m1f here earlier in the month. But he's better than that and can reverse the form over this longer trip and on more favourable terms.
