        Verdict

        None of these inspire much confidence. Isabella Bird never threatened despite finishing second at Haydock and Guesshowmuchiloveu failed to show any improvement when fifth at Kempton last time with Tayma well beaten. FALLEN IN LINE ran a shocker at the same track on his latest start but William Buick sticks with him rather than stablemate and newcomer Dubai Star. The Gosden colt did much better at Doncaster earlier and he gets a chance to prove his latest running all wrong.
