      Verdict

      LIBRETTISTA should welcome this drop in grade this afternoon though is likely to be priced accordingly by the bookmakers. The Hague should give him plenty to think about. He ran a solid race behind North Cape at Epsom a couple of weeks ago and a repeat of that form should see him go close. Yourgolftravel Com has shown glimpses of ability in the past though has become inconsistent of late.All hopes rely upon the first time eyeshields making a difference. Celestial Girl has won her two most recent starts and has every chance of repeat this afternoon. Ubiquitous is a mare in form so she should not be discounted despite having a little more to do here.
