        Verdict

        Return To Dubai made a winning return to action at Chelmsford but the three-year-old First Sight carries the Godolphin first colours, despite weakening quickly when making his Turf debut at Newmarket in June. Acotango, sporting first-time blinkers, and SCEPTIC both step up from a mile so will have stamina to prove but, providing the ground doesn’t turn soft, the latter has a decent chance at the weights in this. Lord Bertie and Choisya are others upped in distance but Flying Frontier was only beaten a length over course and distance latest so has to go on the shortlist.
