      Verdict

      John Gosden has won this three times in the last seven years and ZENON (NAP) is expected to enhance his trainer's record. He's a son of Galileo so the mile won't be a problem and he has already been the subject of favourable reports. Fellow newcomer Mount Moriah is a half-brother to a couple of winners while Red Ensign looks the pick of those with experience. He cost 250,000gns and was a very encouraging third on his debut over 7f at Newbury, though he's not really bred to appreciate this longer trip. Whip Nae Nae and First Quest are likely improvers and should be monitored for future reference.
