      Verdict

      This may not be as valuable as today's Cesarewitch run over the same trip but it's just as difficult to pick the winner. A speculative vote goes to the progressive KELVINGROVE to shrug off an 8lb rise and land a hat-trick after a couple of comfortable victories at Yarmouth with his latest win coming over 2m. Chester specialist Gabrial The Master didn't stay 2m in soft ground earlier this season but Bin Singspiel is open to further progress having scored over the same trip at Newcastle last time. Theology and Bowdler's Magic are not out of this and neither is King Kurt if his stamina holds out.
