      Verdict

      Dr Richard Kimble is still improving though both wins this year have been over 1m4f, including at Goodwood last time. Rainbow Rebel finished runner-up at Chelmsford earlier in the week but still looks a shade high in the handicap while both Indomeneo and Trinity Star failed to cope with a rise in the weights last time having won their respective penultimate starts. COTE D’AZUR has been edging closer and though failing to threaten when third at York last time this is easier and he gets the vote having won off a higher mark last year.
