      Verdict

      EVERY INSTINCT drops back in distance after going close over 1m4f the last twice and is preferred to stablemate Drago. David Simcock's charge looks to have most to fear from the newcomer Important Point, a half-brother to a couple of winners. City Dreams never threatened on his debut on the Flat over 1m4f here and has been well beaten in a bumper since while Golden Thread also made a modest debut on the level here, though still finished ahead of Megara.
