    Verdict

    GRAND BAZAAR shrugged off a 6lb rise to land a double with a victory over today’s trip at Newmarket. He wasn’t unduly tested on that occasion and the hat-trick looks a distinct possibility for the Gosden colt. Wise Glory also bids for a treble after scoring at Newmarket and should go well again while Al Madha lost his unbeaten record in the Dante at York and steps up in trip along with the returning novice winner Shandoz. Bronze River is another upped in distance having finished in front of a below par Orczy when fourth at Sandown.
