      Verdict

      Interesting to see sprinters classed as veterans at the age of 6. ZAC BROWN is now seven but there is no indication his powers are on the wane. Expect to see Joshua Bryan bounce him out and adopt customary trailblazing tactics. The combination obliged at Chester this month and he looks nicely treated here when Bryan's claim is factored in. Kasbah should prove all the better for his reappearance run but Rio Ronaldo looks a more lively threat. This confirmed hold-up merchant needs everything to drop just right but he should get a perfect pace to chase and has every chance with Atzeni booked to do the steering. Silverrica and Edged Out, both course and distance winners, look next best.
