    Verdict

    The Gosden yard remains in top form and IMPLORE can land this. He was no match for the winner when runner-up at Doncaster but finished clear of the rest and can make the most of the weight concession from the penalised Unspoken. The latter made a winning debut over 6f but has been beaten since while Sir Duke also steps up in trip after placing on the all-weather. Atrium has plenty to find with the selection while Khanjar is preferred to State Legend and Flying Secret of the newcomers.
