      Verdict

      Godolphin's colours have been carried to success in four of the last six renewals and CHANGE THE GAME can add to his name to the list. He showed plenty of promise when runner-up at Wolverhampton on his debut and looks a cut above these. Argyle failed to show the expected improvement at Goodwood last time, though soft ground may have been an excuse, while The Excel Queen is getting closer but this is tougher than the Redcar maiden she was placed in last time. The remainder have shown little so far with Signed And Sealed perhaps best of them.
