      Verdict

      A winner at Nottingham, Whitehall has something to prove now having finished a modest third at Newmarket last time. DIOCLES OF ROME (NAP) is preferred as he went close at Newbury before just missing out at Kempton and looks set to open his account. Sir Plato didn’t appreciate the return to the all-weather last time but was beaten only a head over track and trip before that while the opposite is true of The Eagle's Nest, who has shown his best form on artificial surfaces so far. Dagian is lightly-raced and worth a second glance now handicapping.
