      Verdict

      Empire Of Art got off the mark stepped up to this trip at Windsor and will make a bold bid to defy his penalty but MAGICO is a rare runner here for Marco Botti and, being out of a Pivotal mare, the Epsom third will enjoy the easier conditions here. Zayina certainly isn’t out of this as she ran well from a wide draw when fourth at Beverley and Sayalittleprayer was easy to back and ran green at Thirsk but still finished ahead of Trust Time.
