    Verdict

    FRANCO GRASSO (NAP) only got home by a neck here recently but gave the impression that he is still rather immature to an extent as a four-year-old. He was gelded last year and could well deliver considerable improvement this term. Callum Hutchinson retains the ride on the gelding. Henry The Fifth is 4lb out of the weights but still receives a decent chunk of weight all round and his latest effort was much better. Alpha King is another lightly-raced four-year-old and has presumably had his problems. He may struggle to concede the weight to the selection. Harmonious has not shown any strong form for over a year and is best watched unless the market disagrees.
