      Verdict

      Ralph Beckett’s yard is in flying form and TASK FORCE (NAP) will likely prove a popular choice in today’s feature. The latter made an impressive debut when easily beating a subsequent winner at Salisbury and holds entries in both the Champagne Stakes and the Group 1 Middle Park. Seven Questions has done nothing but improve and looks worthy of a crack at this level having won a nursery at Leicester while Shagraan failed to figure in the Molecomb last time but had finished just ahead of Asadna when second in Listed company over today’s trip at Newbury earlier. Matters Most won a handicap at Windsor last month while Bombay Bazaar steps up in trip having landed a conditions race at Beverley in June.
