      Verdict

      The betting at Kempton back in February suggested Cockney Hill would improve and the latter duly obliged by a wide-margin. But he steps up in trip on his first start since and carries a penalty along with THE GILL BROTHERS. The latter drops back down in distance after winning over a mile at Kempton on his first outing of the year but did so with plenty to spare so Stuart Williams’ grey gets the vote. Qaabil failed to win France but is preferred of the remainder debuting for the Haggas yard on his first outing since April.
