        Verdict

        KEY BID is going the right way judged on his narrow defeat over track and trip a fortnight ago. He finished a street clear of the rest and the Godolphin charge can open his account in a weak maiden. Steaming found one too good at Wolverhampton on his reappearance and looks the only real threat with the likes of Nightdress needing to improve over this extra distance - the older horses are hard to fancy.
