    Verdict

    Inexorable Tide didn't go a yard at Nottingham last time and blinkers are applied for the first time. He has plenty to spare at the weights with the older Swordbearer, who went close at Kempton the last time he competed in maiden company. Babyfact was tailed off at Windsor in 2013, her only start to date, which leaves us with MIDLIGHT. A well beaten runner-up at Southwell on his debut, today's surface may suit him better and David Simcock's charge gets the vote.
