    Verdict

    Silver Blaze and Ahzeemah may struggle at the weights but Glittering Gold is unexposed though may not have beaten much in a Folkestone maiden and, on breeding, isn't certain to be suited by today's shorter trip. Valiant is another with scope but the form of his debut success at Newbury hasn't been franked and more interesting is Beaufort Twelve, who showed a willing attitude to return to winning ways at Goodwood having found the company too hot in the Craven Stakes on his comeback. EASTERN DESTINY just keeps on improving and, as she's from a good family, may have enough in the locker to defy a mark 5lb higher than the one she won off at Ripon.
