      Verdict

      SHAKOUR posted an improved effort when third over a mile at Kempton last month and this longer trip will suit the Gosden colt on that evidence. Danzay made a promising start when runner-up at Wolverhampton last week and also steps up in distance. He’s preferred to Volevo Lui and the remainder with racecourse experience but the US-bred newcomer Native Arrow represents Godolphin and could prove a threat to all.
