      Verdict

      FULL OF PROMISE stepped up to this trip for the first time at Carlisle and ran out a comfortable winner. She's up 6lb and this is a better race but now she's found her optimum trip a double looks on the cards. Toriano won twice on Polytrack last year and was well supported on his reappearance in May but ran poorly and may be best watched for now. Destroyer has had just two runs for Tom Tate and should be winning soon judged on a fine run at York while Gloriosus was nowhere near his best at Goodwood after his Beverley victory and is expected to do much better. His stable also run Yorkee Mo Sabee, who won over 6f here but hasn't really improved.
