      Verdict

      Three Comets, a winner on good to soft at Hamilton in August, couldn't quite handle the step-up in quality at Epsom and this is another climb up the ladder. I'LL HAVE ANOTHER was racing over 1m2f when beaten a length by Norway on fast ground at Newmarket and was only just beaten in a German Group 3 last month so gets a good chance to get back on the winning trail. Manuela De Vega is quickly elevated into this class after her Sailsbury maiden win and her allowance will help while both Taylormade and Divine Gift are last-time winners and both look to have chances, especially the former after his Yarmouth victory where he still looked green.
