        Verdict

        Murzim, who appreciated the different tactics employed last time, is taken to follow up off a 3lb higher mark. Allowed to bowl along, he battled on bravely (something he hadn't shown previously) when tackled and if allowed to stride on again here, he wil prove difficult to beat. Giunchiglio, from a yard who has yet to hit top form and Murghob, who tries this trip for the first time, are both respected but, the biggest threat could prove to be the unexposed filly Dafne. She needs to be forgiven a poor effort on the All-Weather surface last time, and is better judged on her victory at Brighton, where she won off a 6lb lower mark.
