      Verdict

      CLEAR SKIES produced a much-improved performance when chasing home Bid Adieu over the course and distance last week and can finally get off the mark. Vienna Circle has taken some time to mature but looked more of the finished article over the course and distance last month and looks the logical danger. Perfect Tapatino has shown nothing but Andy Oliver's newcomer Play It Cool is a half-brother to three winners and Amuletum is by New Approach out of an Australian Group 1 winner.
