        Verdict

        This can go to hat-trick seeking Trained Bythe Best. She is unexposed over this trip, on the flat and while she is 4lb higher than when winning at Newbury, she may still be a step ahead of the Handicapper. The consistent Dr Cool tries this trip for the first time, but he will need to find improvement for it, while Mr Ed appreciated the step up to this trip, when runner-up at Ascot last time in a similar event, although he is not certain to confirm the form with the three-year-old Callisto, who may be open to more improvement than him.
