        Verdict

        A weak finale in which Titus Secret, second on his reappearance at Windsor, must have every chance of defying top weight. Last year’s fourth and sixth, Bogsnog and Goadby, try again with the latter well treated nowadays. The much-travelled Deeds Not Words will no doubt find a race this summer but Spellmaker looks held by Titus Secret on collateral form. VIRILE doesn’t win very often but was successful off a higher mark at Brighton last year and has been running well enough to suggest he’ll be involved in the finish again.
