      Verdict

      Dandy Nicholls and Kieren Fallon look a formidable partnership and they can take this with NEXT STOP. She's dropped to a fair mark and caught the eye with a promising run behind the well-backed True Pleasure here last week. Gleese The Devil should have more to offer this summer though could find the trip on the short side in fast conditions while Bling King's last victory came in a seller. Atlantic Affair's only success came here in 2013 but the assessor has been slowly dropping her and given her a chance here.
