      Verdict

      Wait For The Will was held up a shade too long by his talented but inexperienced jockey last time, and is confidently expected to return to winning ways here. Burgundy won with a shade more in hand than the official winning margin suggests and though he has incurred a penalty, he will still be a danger. Zaajel is well bred but has become a shade disappointing and is readily passed over.
