      Verdict

      Jockey bookings suggest Desert Skies is preferred to the other Godolphin runner, Hawker, despite the latter having the better form. Charlie Appleby's charge found only one too good over track and trip last time. Red Warrior and Number One London have had plenty of chances and VERMONT is becoming a little frustrating. A beaten favourite on his last three outings, the latter still has the best form on offer and Luca Cumani's charge gets one more chance having his first start on the Polytrack.
