        Verdict

        MADAME VESTRIS has a magnificent pedigree being a daughter of Galileo out of a Prix Vermeille winner. She didn't have too much to do to land her maiden over 1m4f at Leicester but there looked much more to come and she can complete the double. Argent Knight is the only distance winner in the line-up and also finished runner-up over the track and trip in May though he's looking a bit exposed on this mark. Dali's Lover hasn't been beaten far on his two latest starts but ran poorly on his only start over tonight's trip while Magika could have done without going up 1lb for finishing third in a similar grade handicap at Newmarket.
