      Verdict

      Bravo Echo and Kakapuka may struggle here against younger rivals and the latter is no certainty to confirm recent Epsom running with Top Cop. There's nothing between Dashing David and Gracious George on Salisbury running and the latter is closely matched with Entwined on earlier Newbury form but this can go to FUTURE REFERENCE. Saeed bin Suroor's gelding has only won on the Polytrack so far but came up against an improving sort in Nurpur at York last time and is worth another chance.
